She Is My Mother. She Is a Cleaner. And That Is No Small Role.
Across the world, millions of people wake up early to perform one of the most overlooked yet essential jobs: cleaning. My mother is one of them. She is not behind a desk in a corner office, nor does she walk in high heels through corporate lobbies. Instead, she rises before the sun to make sure others can step into workplaces, schools, and public buildings that are safe, clean, and ready for the day ahead.
The Work Few Acknowledge
Cleaners often go unnoticed, but their work is the backbone of modern life. Without them, the spaces we rely on—hospitals, offices, schools—would be unsafe and unsanitary. Cleanliness protects health, promotes productivity, and creates dignity in the environments where people gather.
