Now I've discovered Dubai, my book is in Dubai......so what's missing? Friends in Dubai! This is where BeingShe came into my life! BeingShe is a women’s organization committed to empowering women, facilitating their transformation, and guiding them to channel their innate drive and passion. Founder Aparna Bajpai believes that every woman anywhere in the world has the ability to build her own castle, she just needs the support, recognition and empowerment to move forth. So after the Sharjah Bookfair (actually on my way to the airport), I stopped in at the BeingShe office to meet Aparna and her staff, to see if they would be a good fit for me! I found there a supportive, safe environment where I could openly share my journey. YES!! I wanted to be part of this community! BeingShe has given me a kind of homebase in Dubai. Connection. Shared resources and support. The networking possibilities have been endless and have provided me with encouragement and guidance along the way. Aparna has especially inspired me to hold my head high and not give up. "Be proud of who you are, get comfortable in your own skin, and share your true self with others" And so, I was proud to be among the 40 women of excellence that received the BeingShe Excellence Award 2023. A luxury ceremony at Dubai's Museum of the Future honored achievements in the arts, business, corporate, philantrophy, wellness and media. This red carpet event also unveiled the "BeingShe Excellence Icons", a special collector's edition book showcasing all the winners! Thank you BeingShe for making me feel special......I'll never forget that amazing experience.....I was truely "queen for a day"!
