<\/p>\n

Gunel \u0130smay\u0131lova always recognized the value of communication, connection, and community. With a wide range of roles in corporate settings and a focus in communications, she found passion in connecting with people. However, she felt a sense of dissatisfaction with her work\u2013she craved meaningful change through societal improvement. <\/p>\n

\u201cI love talking, meeting new people. I worked in various positions,\u201d \u0130smay\u0131lova said. \u201cBut I always think how to change people, how to make the society better. So I had a hobby, to teach kids drama.\u201d Her drama classes quickly became a safe space where children could learn about themselves and each other. It provided a safe space for expression, growth, and education, especially for children with disabilities, who often felt excluded and ostracized in their own communities.
\n\u201cDrama helps them to understand what they need, to talk freely and communicate easily,\u201d \u0130smay\u0131lova said. \u201cKids with disabilities can also join us and we help them to be a part of the community with the fun way.\u201d <\/p>\n

Though her heart was in this work, \u0130smay\u0131lova spent years in a corporate job, where her desire for positive impact often clashed with a rigid environment and management. Inspired by the impact of her drama classes, she left the corporate world to focus on expanding her hobby. <\/p>\n

\u201cAfter feeling unhappy at my company, I decided to make my hobby my business. I had a manager who wasn\u2019t able to understand his employer, because of his ego. So I started my business and it is getting better everyday,\u201d \u0130smay\u0131lova said. This was the official start of Nagilchi, a place where children could truly learn and experience the importance of inclusion and community, particularly for people with disabilities. By instilling these values into children, she hopes her impact will extend over generations. <\/p>\n

\u201cI want to teach kids how to have a better community, so maybe after 10-15 years we will have better, happier, disability-friendly people,\u201d \u0130smay\u0131lova said. \u201cFor me it was charity. But after applying to different projects and knowing new people I realized that it isn\u2019t charity, I have a social business.\u201d <\/p>\n

Nagilchi blossomed from a simple hobby into a social enterprise with the potential for lasting impact. Despite the satisfaction of building this business and helping children, she also acknowledged the heavy demands of entrepreneurship. \u0130smay\u0131lova expressed her love for the change she could create, but acknowledges the demands of the nonstop work. She shares this advice with others: \u201cDon\u2019t forget to take break[s]. Be ready for the challenges.\u201d <\/p>\n

Her journey continues, one drama class at a time, as \u0130smay\u0131lova pursues her vision of a more inclusive, connected society. Through Nagilchi, Gunel \u0130smay\u0131lova builds not only a business but a movement, inspiring young people to see the strength in community and the importance of empathy. Her story is one of courage, transformation, and a steadfast commitment to making a better world.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
