“How Mexico’s ‘cupcake queen’ rebuilt her life” is a story about a single mother Conchita Valdez ,who brings up four children, builds her own successful cupcake business. Yesterday, Amielle Lake, CRO & Founder of Tagga also gave her advices according to her own experiences. It will never be a easy task for a woman to become a entrepreneur whether there is discrimination or not. However, Ms Valdez says: “Fear can paralyse you or make you stronger.”

It seems that the tradition of the society asks woman to contribute more to her family, giving up her job to become a housewife,sacrificing all her time to take care of the whole family. However, more and more outstanding businesswomen stand out, telling the probability of becoming a successful female entrepreneur. According to Ms Valdez’s story, the process will not be all plain sailing. She meet the challenges arising from innovation and franchise, and also she might have to deal with the problem about how to achieve a balance between her business and family. Because of her effort and perseverance, she survived.

It might be true that operating a business for women is tough, however, as Amielle said in class, we should always maintain the ability to think clearly and rationally in any situation.
