However, aside being a fashion design guru, Fateemah Suara is also an activist of healthy relationships. A staunch believer in love, she demonstrates affection, kindness and loyalty in her everyday life.

To her, its a painful thing to see couples or love birds that could never go for long hours without calling or sending messages to each other, avoid one another like plague when the going becomes rough.

It breaks my heart whenever I see couples or love birds, whose hearts would flutter and faces beamed with smiles at the thought of spending the rest of their lives together, go their separate ways at the nick of a crisis.

Even some would suddenly grow cold and bitter at each other, going in and out of lawyers’ offices and throwing divorce papers at each other due to breakdown in communication.

So, I spend everyday of the week helping married couples develop strategies that will bring relief to their relationship crises, bringing them to a place of awareness and understanding. I equally coach the singles on the right techniques to employ in their relationships,” she stressed.
