Description
How can you help the world around you, Peers? It’s a question we ask ourselves often, but the answer can usually be found right in our backyard. In today’s episode of Peers2Peers, powered by Shopify, we hear from Lach Baniya, the Co-Founder and Managing Director of Icarus Media. While she founded her media company in 2013, she had to overcome many hurdles including responding to the crises in Myanmar, to ultimately take her business to the next level.  In this ep, Lach shares how she empowers the women of Myanmar through her portfolio of digital publications, why education is the gateway to freedom, and why your Plan A may not always be what’s best for you.
