The protagonist of the new episode is Kamila Lukpanova, an expert in tourism and cultural policy, and a public figure. She is the woman who led the Winter Universiade 2017 directorate at just 25 years old, stood at the origins of Visit Almaty, and breathed new life into dozens of libraries across Kazakhstan.
In this video, Kamila opens up about her journey: from her childhood in Uralsk surrounded by the infinite love of her grandparents, to studying in London, transforming urban environments, facing personal crises, going through a divorce, and eventually building mature, happy relationships.
This is a candid conversation about changing the world around you, developing Kazakhstan's regions, knowing when to step away from your comfort zone, and why self-development and self-love are essential for every woman.
