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.
