Sumaiya Mia

Master of shoemaking, now teaching apprentices

  • πŸ‡§πŸ‡© Gazipur, Dhaka, Bangladesh
  • Gazipur Shop
  • Since 1997
  • English, Spanish
My trade is shoemaking. I opened my own shop in 1997 in Gazipur and I'm still there most mornings. Apprentices come in nervous and leave proud. That's my favorite part. I answer every message, eventually.

More about Sumaiya

Some of my old apprentices now run their own shops. I couldn't be prouder.
