founder of Womena
One of the Middle East’s most influential platforms dedicated to amplifying the voices and experiences of women across the region.
As headlines focus on military strikes, political leaders and geopolitical consequences, Elissa says another crisis is unfolding on the ground. Women and girls are often among the first to feel the ripple effects of conflict, from disrupted healthcare and education to displacement, economic instability and growing uncertainty for families and communities.
A Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, named to Esquire’s ’10 for 10,’ and a global speaker with more than 150 keynotes, Elissa serves as a cultural translator between what Western audiences are seeing in the news and what families across the region are experiencing in real time. She is also the host of the Sage Takes Thyme podcast, where she explores identity, healing, and personal transformation.
I would seriously and sincerely love to know your opinion.
