Fabiah rakonte istwa pèsonèl li, depi anfans, doulè li te santi lè li te kite peyi l tou piti, epi kijan vizit li te fè Ayiti yo te limen yon gwo dezi pou kontribye nan avni peyi a.Dekouvri moman kle sa a, nan pye Sitadèl Laferrière, ki te oryante l vè antreprenarya: yon rankont senp, men ki gen anpil fòs, ak yon machann nan lari ki te fè l konprann pi byen ke se biznis ki pral vrèman ede Ayiti vanse.Fabiah pale tou ouvètman sou defi inatandi li te rankontre lè li te kòmanse Ayizan, tankou yon istwa enpòtan sou trademark ke chak antreprenè k ap kòmanse dwe tande. Se yon leson ki ka sove pwopriyetè biznis yo anpil tèt chaje.
