From Paris to Ankara: 24-year-old entrepreneur truck driver
My name is Gulfem Zengin. I started driving trucks at the age of 19. When I’m on the road, I feel free and at peace.
At the age of 22, I decided to start my own business.
With my truck, which is my home, I carry food and sometimes aid. I think that's how I help people.
Following the last earthquake that hit Türkiye, I brought relief supplies from France to our people. I am very happy and proud of this.
I am 24 right now, and I would like to grow my company and do better things.
My aim is to be an inspiration to young girls. Every young girl and woman should stand on their own two feet and not need anyone else.
