== Origins ==
In the winter of 2005, Lemmon traveled to Afghanistan as part of a case study she was completing for her MBA at Harvard University. She was studying women entrepreneurs, particularly those in conflict zones. She sought to change the narrative from “victim” to “survivor.” Given the tone of caution in Afghanistan, it was at first difficult to locate a viable subject. However, a contact referred Lemmon to Kamila Sidiqi and her family. Lemmon met with them and their associates over several subsequent trips to Afghanistan.
