Amela Smailbegovic, 37, is a real estate magnate who has been featured in Forbes and has “never depended on a man for anything.”
The Orlando, Florida-based businesswoman has spent the past two decades focusing on her work, meaning marriage and babies were not a priority.
“I guess my main mantra has always been female empowerment and women succeeding in business,” the glamorous “#GirlBoss” told JamPrime.com. “Maybe that’s why I’m 37, not married and settled because I focused all my time on getting myself established.”
However, Smailbegovic recently realized that most of her friends were married and having children — and her desire to become a mom was awakened, too.
During the pandemic, she recalled thinking: ” ‘Oh my gosh, like, I’m in my late 30s’ . . . I was so focused on being successful and independent that it never dawned on me that the biological clock is ticking.”
She’s a career-driven feminist who has frozen her eggs, so she can have a baby on her own terms — saying she doesn’t need a man to make all her dreams come true
