She Has Her Own Business Ventures
Hassan launched Ubah Spicy, a hot sauce with an African flavor that improves healthy food.
Model Ubah was born in Somalia and now resides in New York City, generally consuming healthful food.
She never wanted to sacrifice flavor because she wanted to stay healthy, as many food enthusiasts do.
The sauce was initially developed to satisfy a personal need: to swiftly and add a flavor of her Somalian home to regular meals to liven up the bland model diet she was consuming.
The hot sauce industry is expanding quickly and is predicted by Forbes to reach 4.38 USD billion by 2028.
When she started, she had no idea how challenging, complicated, and male-dominated it would be. But a big part of her perseverance to move on and make it happen was influenced by her upbringing.
Because of her approach to making connections, Ubah has built a great network of people who contributed knowledge to her launch.
She didn't develop those relationships naturally due to family bonds; rather, she did it by learning from her parents.
Charity Works

She frequently had to trek for six hours and stand in line as a Somalian refugee in Kenya. To help those who live in the horn of Africa who lack access to clean water, Ubah launched Maji Umbrellas, a nonprofit organization.
Intending to provide "Maji," the Swahili term for water, she worked with the shoe Company TOMS to give people in Cambodia shoes and eye surgery.
