Bangladeshi Women Entrepreneurs - Tania Begum co-owner of CommunityRx Pharmacy

Season 4 - Episode 19: Tania Begum was inspired to become a pharmacist, following in her father's footsteps to serve the community in healthcare. In 2013 she and co-owner Mahbubur Motlib opened Community Rx Pharmacy in Warren, Michigan, to serve the growing Bangladeshi community and other diverse communities. "We don't have a Bengali-speaking pharmacy in this location… we want to be with the people and be their support center, a resource center for them,” she says. Tania says being a pharmacist is more than filling medicine bottles, rather it's an opportunity to educate people about their health and guide them through their healthcare needs. “I found that passion where I want to be with people and the newcomers who don't understand the medication... who feel like they're lost... in the healthcare system,” she says. Her father was a pharmacist in Bangladesh prior to moving to the United States. Tania is one of metro Detroit's Bangladeshi Women Entrepreneurs.
