My name is Jaadhullah Ismail and I hail from a southern island from the Maldives, GDh.Thinadhoo. I was born to a family where my sisters already had a passion for making clothes, and through them and my own curiosity, I felt within me a yearning to create my own designs. That would prove to be tough for a little boy growing up in a peripheral island in my country, where societal norms looked down on those that defied gender norms, nevertheless I prevailed on my journey to chase my goals.
