Not all heroes wear capes, some of them wear nail polish, skirts and stilettos. Today, 8th of March we want to praise the role of 10 amazing arab women that are breaking the rules and changing stereotypes.
As women we don´t get enough recognition for the amazing things we are doing, challenging the world, beating huge obstacles while taking care of the family and loved ones.
Being a woman is hard. There is a long list of ladies changing the world and making history that deserves recognition and applause. We have created a list of 10 we very much admire and follow from DFN. They are all well known in the region, and we think it is about time, we pay a little tribute to these amazons
5 AMAZING ARAB WOMEN
1. DIALA MAKKI
Speaking of fashion and class is talking about Diala. She has become the voice and bridge between fashion designers and the Arab audience and consumers. Diala has been a strong advocate for realistic beauty and ethics when it comes to social media. She raise her voice every time is necessary. Diala is the perfect example when I say that beauty comes from inside
2. SHAHAD SALMAN
Being a model is hard enough, but being a model with a skin condition makes it a million times harder. The modeling industry can be really hash; on top of that social media can be a monster hard to deal with. Shadah has proven her strength and the importance of the message she is trying to give to the world.
3. HUDA KATTAN
Being a woman entrepreneur is something relatively new in the world. Not often we hear the “boss lady” speech. Executive women, owner business women, you name it. It is a kind of new world for us. Huda has created not only a brand, but has lead and open a path for the generations behind us. What she did is much more than running a business, she changed the business game.
4. GHIZLAN GUENEZ
Representation matters, and is not just a phrase. We all need to be fit in, somewhere, somehow. Ghizlan creating the first online destination for women who want to dress modest in luxury is helping two different groups of women that until now felt there wasnt a place for them to shop and feel they are important.
5. ASEEL ALHAMAD
Pioneers are called crazy until the rest understand the importance of standing up. Oh boy, how much I know about it! Aseel is a woman ahead of her time and she leading the change for many women in Saudi Arabia. There is many ways to do history, she choose to do it from behind the wheels. At DFN you have a fan club!
