What is your current career stage and what can help you unlock your next level?
I am a co-founder of an intentional makeup brand dedicating to redefining inclusive-beauty, alongside my 2 sisters. This year, I am transitioning to CEO so I could definitely benefit from mentorship in leadership and strategy (we are prominent in the US but now planning on growing within GCC, so being apart of a UAE based community of professionals and creatives is perfectly aligned for my current growth goals)
Why would you want to join 1833/١٨٣٣?
I've been in and out of Dubai for the past 21 years, but still have a craving to find a community of inspiring, like minded individuals that fulfill what I'm looking for both professionally and socially. I am a member of the EO Dubai chapter (Entrepreneurs' Organization) and find it fulfilling from a learning perspective, but it lacks in the kind of social connections and programming I am also looking for when choosing to invest my time and energy into a community. In EO, I find that members are in more industrial, non-creative industries, so when I heard from some friends of mine who are 1833 members about a group blending business and creative, with dynamic eventing and travel experiences, I was instantly intrigued.
What are your creative interests? How do you spend your free time?
- Creative writing (poetry and thought pieces)
- Discovering new experiences in any city I'm in from supperclubs, to speakeasies, new pop-ups, new exhibits (currently on my list to try is a new dining concept Fifth Flavor)
- Going fabric shopping in Dubai to design clothing pieces for myself just for fun
- A student of life - love attending panels and workshops on topics I want to learn more about - always feel on a high after witnessing an inspiring dialogue
- Reading - self-help category always, most recent read was Unbound (all about harnessing female power) and The Courage to Be Disliked
