    Hi Dr Amina, I wish to sincerely thank you for this video! Filled with gems of advice & I completely agree regarding the passion for the vision and subject matter. I'm currently in the second month of my post-grad studies at Stellenbosch University (studying the interplay of fashion and ML techniques) & working full-time. It definitely has its challenges but I will continue to believe in the rewarding career at the end of it. Love your channel & sending best wishes!
