She raised the conversation about gendered occupations in her recent social media post, showing her mom welding steel.
“When I was young, I was already exposed to the reality that my mother is capable of doing anything!
“Jobs should have no gender. Being a single mother is not for the faint-hearted.
“My mom is my image of strength: always putting her best foot forward and making sure we live a decent life,” she wrote.
Gazini also took pride in becoming a woman of substance who embodies strength because of her mom's influence.
“And I say this with pride: I am a strong woman because a strong woman raised me. Cheers to every phenomenal woman out there!” she added.
She is currently training for the virtual marathon-distance relay of ASICS World Ekiden 2020. The event will be joined by participants from across the globe.
Gazini gears up to represent the country once again.
