— Ms. Khuraman, your life and professional journey serve as an example for many. Before beginning our conversation, we would like to ask about your sources of inspiration — the factors that motivate you and continually encourage you to engage in acts of goodwill.
— My sources of inspiration are not grand or complicated concepts. Sometimes it is the gratitude I see in a person’s eyes, sometimes a silent prayer, and sometimes a painful memory carried through life that gives me strength. Life has taught me that what truly sustains a person is not success alone, but work done with conscience. The upbringing I received from my family, the losses I have endured, the sense of the word bestowed upon my soul by the Creator, and the need to be useful to people — these are the forces that move me forward.
— As a businesswoman who has earned a respected place in society, what approaches do you apply to inspire and support women in professional and social environments?
— I believe in inspiring women not through slogans, but through example.
When a woman stands firmly on her own feet while preserving both her elegance and strength, she already sends a powerful message to society.
Trusting women, listening to their voices, involving them in decision-making processes, and most importantly, accepting them as they are — these are my core principles. When a woman feels supported, she blossoms.
— What are the main principles that have led you to success both in business and creativity?
— Integrity, patience, and love. I have never shortened the path to success at the expense of my conscience. Whether in business or creativity, I firmly believe this: if your path is honest, your destination will eventually find you.
— What life lessons would you like to share with young people and talented creative individuals?
— Never abandon yourself. Living according to others’ expectations empties a person from within. Do not fear mistakes, but fear losing your principles — because success can return, but conscience does not.
— Through your creative work, what spiritual and moral messages do you aim to convey to people?
— I want people not to forget their souls. Through my words, I wish to remind them that compassion still exists, honesty still matters, and love can still save humanity. My creativity is a path of returning to one’s true self.
— In your opinion, what common ground exists between entrepreneurship and literature?
— Responsibility. In entrepreneurship, you touch people’s health and lives; in literature, you touch their souls. In both fields, wrong decisions can cause harm, while sincere and thoughtful approaches can heal.
— What does the concept of “creativity” mean to you? Is it limited only to art and literature, or does it manifest in all areas of life?
— Creativity is not only about writing poetry. Doing honest work, easing someone’s pain, or solving a problem through unconventional thinking is also creativity. It is a state of mind that reveals itself in every sphere of life.
— How did your charitable and humanitarian activities during the Patriotic War shape you as a person?
— That period was a true test of one’s character — not through words, but through actions. Looking into the eyes of mothers of martyrs and feeling the pain of wounded veterans taught me that love for the homeland is measured not on platforms, but through silent service.
— In your view, what shapes the human soul more deeply — hardships, success, or other life experiences?
— Hardships. Success brings joy, but hardships bring depth. A person cannot mature without passing through pain.
— What place do the concepts of “Motherland, people, and humanity” occupy in your life philosophy?
— These are the three pillars of my life. The Motherland is our root, the people are our spirit, and humanity is the highest value that illuminates our path.
— You have received numerous international awards and honorary titles. What do recognition and awards mean to you personally and socially?
— Awards are responsibility. They remind me that I must work harder and serve more. When your efforts are recognized, it means you are obliged to give even more back to society.
— It is often said that if we cannot reach a person’s heart, we cannot truly benefit them. How do you view this idea?
— I completely agree. Without touching the heart, no form of help is complete. A person wants to be understood before they can be healed.
— Through Milan Hospital, you have provided care and hope to countless people. What strength and motivation do acts of kindness give you?
— Strength. The more I help others, the stronger I become myself. Kindness does not exhaust a person; on the contrary, it enriches and renews them.
— What is the main source of your desire to help people and serve society — nature, family, or personal life experiences?
— The upbringing I received from my family and the trials life has placed before me. A person who has known pain cannot remain indifferent.
— When facing difficulties or failures, what methods help you recover spiritually?
— Silence. Prayer.Poetry. Sometimes, silence itself is the greatest form of healing.
— How would you describe the differences and similarities between medicine and creativity?
— Both provide healing. One heals the body, the other heals the soul. And both demand conscience.
— In which new directions do you plan to develop your creative work in the future?
— I intend to continue projects that reflect the shared spirit of the Turkic world, amplify the voices of women writers on a broader international platform, and build cultural bridges through words. For me, creativity is a journey that continues as long as life itself.
