Born and raised in Lebanon, Paola El Sitt is a successful entrepreneur and social media personality. She is very proud of her home country’s beauty and unique culture, but it has a very challenging environment. The constant political instability made it very difficult for businesses to thrive. She hence decided to start over and relocated to Dubai, UAE.
Her journey has been very exciting and rewarding. Love, Passion and Dedication are the pillars of success. She lives by a sacred Motto: “Live a life you are proud of, Love as much as you can and Laugh as hard as you can.”
The Arab Women of the Year Awards are held in London to emit a sense of unity between the Arab world and the United Kingdom.
The Arab Women of the Year Awards was started in 2014 by the London Arabia Organization in conjunction with the Mayor of London and Regent’s University London. The Awards were created to show appreciation to the incredible achievements done by Arab women across the globe. This award ceremony not only provides the chance for notable and beloved women to gain recognition for what they do, but also allows women, whose achievements have gone unnoticed up until this point, to be fully appreciated for their work.
At the event was launched the Unlock Her Future campaign. This initiative will challenge institutions, organisations, and individuals to confront the harsh obstacles that face young Arab girls, such as violence against women in the form of honour killing and child marriage. This awareness will allow us to work together towards solutions and empower girls through education and access to healthcare. International superstar Yasmine Sabri is the Campaign Ambassador for Unlock Her Future.
