Being interviewed at the International Impact Book Awards and hearing the words “you are a winner” felt so surreal.

Muna and Her Superhero Hair was never just a book for me. It came from a deeply personal place — from observing how identity, especially for young girls, can be shaped by something as simple yet powerful as their hair.

I wrote Muna for every child who has ever felt different… or questioned their beauty… or wondered if they truly belong.

To now see this story being seen, heard, and honored in this way… I am overwhelmed with gratitude.

This award is not just recognition of a book — it is recognition of identity, healing, and the power of representation.

To everyone who believed in Muna from the beginning, thank you. From my heart, thank you.

This moment means more than words can fully express. 💛✨

✨ From Vision to Impact ✨

Some journeys go beyond personal achievement — they shape ideas, influence communities, and redefine what leadership looks like in action.

Stories like Prof. Maura McAdam’s remind us that meaningful impact is built through vision, dedication, and the commitment to open doors for others to follow.

In the face of challenges and change, true leaders don’t just adapt — they contribute, guide, and help create pathways for others to grow, succeed, and thrive.

💬 “Real impact isn’t just about what you accomplish — it’s about how many people you inspire to believe they can do the same.”

Because leadership is not measured only in milestones or recognition — it’s reflected in the opportunities created and the lives positively influenced along the way.

If your next move feels unclear, you are not the only one.
And this is where it shifts.

Uncertainty is part of growth.
But staying in it too long keeps you stuck.

The right room changes that.
It brings perspective.
It sharpens your thinking.
It helps you see what actually matters next.

When you are surrounded by women who are building, leading, and making decisions at a higher level, clarity comes faster.
You stop overthinking.
You start moving.

If this resonates, trust it.

Step into the room where direction becomes clear.

Cultural intelligence (CQ) is not just for senior leaders.
It matters in every meeting, message, and handoff. 🌍

A few common moments where CQ makes a difference:
A teammate stays quiet in a brainstorm. CQ asks, “Are they reflecting, respecting hierarchy, or still processing?”
A direct email lands poorly. CQ reminds us that clarity and tone are both part of communication.
A deadline slips because expectations were assumed, not confirmed. CQ says, “Say it clearly, then check understanding.”

Small shifts like these build trust fast. That is where stronger teamwork starts.

Where could CQ make your day-to-day work easier right now?

100 years ago, it was all about IQ. In the 90s, it was EQ. The future is for those ready to embrace CQ. - Elee Joven

Its all about the SISTERHOOD

There’s something truly magical about women coming together—no matter the setting, no matter the space. There is a quiet strength, an unspoken understanding, a powerful current that flows when women connect. It is more than networking—it is sisterhood, and it is something to be deeply cherished.

Yesterday, I found myself in two different rooms, at two different networking events, surrounded by extraordinary women. Women of depth. Women of vision. Women of influence. And in those moments, as conversations flowed and connections formed, something became so clear to me—I am exactly where I am meant to be.

The work I do. The message I carry. The lives I am called to impact.

It all aligns.

My new book, The Woman in Red, was born from this very truth. It is written for the woman who is ready to see herself differently—the woman who is ready to rise boldly, to lead unapologetically, and to touch lives with intention and power. Within its pages, I speak not only about leadership, but about the power of connection, the importance of community, and the transformational impact of women lifting one another.

Because no woman truly rises alone.

So today, I extend a heartfelt invitation to you.

Join me at the BLOOM Summit this spring.

This is more than an event, it is a movement. A sacred space where women come together to grow, to heal, to reset, and to step into the next version of themselves. As we approach a new quarter, a new chapter, this is your moment to pause and ask yourself:

Who am I becoming?

At the BLOOM Summit, we will explore what it means to:

Become the woman you are called to be

Break free from limitations and step into a limitless mindset

Own your voice, your story, and your power


We will bloom—together.

And what does it mean to be The Woman in Red?

To me, red is boldness.
It is the rose that blooms in spite of its thorns.
It is fire—powerful, refining, life-giving when harnessed.
It is spice—the unique flavour every woman brings into her space.

Every woman carries something extraordinary within her.

And when you embrace that fully, you become her—the Woman in Red.

The summit will take place in the vibrant heart of Stratford—a hub of culture, creativity, and energy. Nestled near iconic landmarks like University of the Arts London and the London Aquatics Centre, and just moments from the global presence of BBC, it’s the perfect destination to combine growth with experience.

Why not make a weekend of it?

Come with your friends. Bring your family. Enjoy the atmosphere, the entertainment, the culture—and most importantly, invest in you.

This is your time.

Your time to bloom.
Your time to rise.
Your time to become.

I would love to see you there. 🌹
