Humans of Fuzia in conversation with(Helen Davis)
Q: Tell us about your path — how did your journey bring you here?
I was the youngest in my family — the smallest one, surrounded by comfort, love, and ease. Life felt like it was always laid out for me. I didn’t need to fight for anything; things just… arrived. And for a long time, I thought that’s how life worked — you wish, and if you’re lucky, you receive.
But over time, I learned a more powerful truth: life is not about getting what you want. It’s about working for it — one milestone, one step at a time. The real turning point for me was becoming a mother. Suddenly, I was responsible for someone who looked to me for everything — love, care, stability, and identity. And without realizing it, I changed. I began to hustle. To strive. Not for praise, but because someone needed me to lead the way. And that lit a fire in me I never expected.
Q: What’s a value you live by every day — and is there a childhood memory connected to it?
Independence. Not just as a lifestyle, but as a deep respect for every person’s right to grow, choose, and evolve freely.
There’s a memory that shaped this. As a child, I once found an injured bird and cared for it lovingly. I grew attached, and when it healed, I couldn’t bear to let it go. One day, my father set it free while I was away. I was heartbroken — but now, I see what he was teaching me. Love isn’t about keeping things close. It’s about letting go when it’s time and giving others — and yourself — the chance to fly. That lesson stuck with me, and today, I try to pass it on in everything I do.
Q: Can you recall a moment (big or small) that made you feel really proud?
It’s the moments when I don’t react. When I pause, breathe, and respond with calm instead of impulse — that’s when I feel proud.
Emotional control is quiet strength. Whether I’m navigating a difficult conversation or facing a stressful situation, choosing grace over reaction has become my way of measuring personal growth. It’s not always easy — but every time I manage it, I feel stronger inside.
Q: What has being part of the Fuzia team meant to you?
It’s been transformative. Fuzia expanded my worldview. I no longer see the world through a narrow lens — now, I feel like a part of something global. The diversity of stories, perspectives, and experiences I’ve encountered here has made me more empathetic, more grounded, and more open — not just professionally, but personally.
This isn’t just a team — it’s a tribe. A powerful, purpose-driven one that’s constantly pushing me to be better and think bigger.
Q: What message would you give to someone who wants to be in your kind of role?
Don’t take anything for granted. The platform, the people, the responsibilities you have today may not be there tomorrow. So show up — fully, intentionally, and with gratitude.
Even when it feels small or repetitive, your work matters. Every task is a step forward. Every challenge is shaping you. One day, you’ll look back and realize — the things you thought were ordinary were actually extraordinary.
“Sometimes, the biggest growth comes quietly — not when you’re celebrated, but when you choose to rise without anyone watching.”
