Caption: Our March 2024 issue is here, and it's led by Mila Semeshkina (@your_smart_mila), the founder of international educational platform @lectera_en, who also launched the Women’s Empowerment Council (@we.council) global community. Check out her notes for women in the business arena- an excerpt: "Women have every potential to achieve the same level of success as men in entrepreneurship. The key is not to be intimidated by gender stereotypes or societal expectations. Believe in your capabilities, and proceed with confidence.” To mark #InternationalWomensDay, this issue features a special showcase of women in the MENA who are masters in the art of reinvention. Our selection includes artist Amrita Sethi (@art.by.amrita), @wearerayne founder and CEO Sarah Jones (@sarahmjones_me), @D14.AI founder @meldakin, and @tresmariascoffee founder Maria Pavani (@mariapavanidxb). Plus, we talk to @minaliccione to learn how her venture, @dubomedy, has unabashedly redefined comedy in the GCC. This edition also features @v3gourmet President and CEO @tahabouqdib, who delves into how he and his team have revived the now 114-year-old @bachacoffee brand. In addition, we hear from @elevengreen.uae co-founders Sultan and Kinda Chatila (@abu_phares @kinzspics) on how they've built a winning F&B venture in the UAE. We also look into how UAE-born fitness brand @gymnation_me is all set for a new phase of growth, following a management-led buyout of all equity held by its previous investor. Also in this issue: meet the winners of the six-month-long #AppOlympics competition staged by @dxbchamberdigi. We also go behind the scenes of US-headquartered @ruderfinn’s acquisition of UAE-based @Atteline, as well as @GameCentric.io's recent funding round. In our monthly roundup of startups at the @mbrifund Innovation Accelerator Program, we profile @appro.ae, detectiome, Egrobots, and @finanshels. Contributors to this issue include @purebornfamily’s @hannahmarycurrann, @roarfitnessldn’s Sarah Lindsay (@roarfitnessgirl), @supperclubme’s Muna Mustafa and @mehreenomarm, Integra Seven’s @natalia_sychev, and Debra and Ken Corey.

Caption: My monthly book reading report. May: 1. East of Eden by D. Steinbeck. I’ve reread this massive novel for the third time and I still consider it the best work of fiction ever written. In fact, before reading it again, I was worried I’d be disappointed this, third, time. But no! It’s still pure honey for my mind. And it’s still my most favourite book in the world. 2. Demian by G. Hesse 3. The Turn of the Screw by H. James 4. Managing Power by H. Kissinger 5. Cat Blad by M. Stepnova

Caption: Private guide in Paris. Very expensive😂 Renoir is my great love ❤️ For the first time, I cried at a museum exhibition - from the beauty and harmony. He is probably the only artist ever lived who sees this world through my eyes. It’s such a joy to be able to visit such a large-scale exhibition, which brings together all periods of Renoir’s work, brought from museums around the world and from private collections. If you’re in Paris in the next month, you simply must see it! It’s something completely unique and incredible! ❤️
