I’ve always been an avid reader ever since I could start reading, in Arabic, French, English and on rarer occasions German, It used to be novels, especially historical novels and autobiogrphies.

I’m sad to say I’ve become less of a book worm 🐛 in recent years, and more of a mindless scroller on social media 😅🙈 but I’m working on it!

I am currently reading « Regardez-nous danser » by Leila Slimani.

When I asked @yasmin.gahtani why rock climbing 🧗‍♂️? Her answer was that she wanted to be a superhero in the eyes of her kids 🦸🏽‍♀️

Tune in to my interview with 🇸🇦‘s first female rock climber 👊🏼 as we speak about everything from how to build mental strength and resilience, her journey to doing what she loves and how things are changing for Saudi women back home.

What does success mean to you? 💫

The topic of success and being successful often comes up on the Silk Narratives Podcast. Everyone seems to agree that it’s about the value of the life you lead and its authenticity. Would love to hear your thoughts.

I find this so interesting. The hussle culture we are living in today never ceases to try to convince us that it‘s all about setting goals, measuring progress, seeing the value of what you do in terms of achievements (symbolic or financial).

However most of the women I have spoken to, especially those working in the creative industry have said they went without a plan, trusting the process and “ going with the flow" and the results were as impressive.

Are you team strategy or team “flow” ?

It was a pleasure to interview the very special @amira.behbehani, one of Kuwait‘s top artists and the mother of a dear friend of mine.

Amira held numerous exhibitions across the globe and committed to social causes that she addresses through her artwork.

Her Persian roots always peek through her works, as she says that her childhood spent in Shiraz is always a source of inspiration to her.

To the question of identity she retorts that many Arabs are mixtures of different roots and that should be embraced and perceived as a source of richness.

This is a picture of me from last weekened, taking a break from all the different projects I suddenly found on my plate.

I launched the Silk Narratives almost two months ago now, next to it I went back to working full time at the UN 🇺🇳, and writing for @lofficielaustria. I’m also a full time wife ❤️ and mum to the cutest toddler 🧸

Juggling it all at once has not been easy, but I’m thankful for this page and the wonderful community I’m building, right here this is where I pour my heart and soul. From finding my remarkable guests, getting to know them to sharing their stories in the hope that they will resonate with you 💫

But I can’t rest because there is still so much to learn, many mistakes to be made and a long way to go..

Thank you for seeing the value I’m striving to put out here, and let me tell you this:

The best is yet to come 🤍

I came across this saying the other day and it always baffles me how old sayings almost always get it right. So simple yet so to the point.

Undoubtedly we all have our little (or big) troubles and worries, and I think it‘s important to remember that we might have the power to lessen them if we pay them less attention.

So just forget about them and hopefully they‘ll forget about you too

Nadine Sayegh, author of Oranges in Jaffa, Vienna.

It’s not everyday that you get to meet the author of a book you’ve just put down, to extensively discuss the why and how and what’s next.

Set in Jaffa, Palestine in the 40s, the book is a powerful ode to an era we seldomly hear about, especially to those of us living in Europe.

In my conversation with Nadine, we discuss why it felt like a duty for her to write « oranges from Jaffa ».

We discuss everything from the role of the media in how Arabs are portrayed to the principles she lives by, the importance of financial independence for women and privacy in the age of instagram: her motto? « vivons cachés, vivons heureux » (let’s hide to live happily).

Tune in to the full episode in bio 🤍

Wishing everyone celebrating a Happy Newroz ✨💫

Spring always feels like a new beginning, a lighter transition into the long summer days, a chance to come to the light to celebrate all the goodness within you and the goodness surrounding you. And remember to always focus on the good because where your focus goes energy flows 🤍
