Everyone's reflections from 3 days in Dubai

Here are the summarizing reflections from most of the She-entrepreneurs after three days in Dubai.

Samantha - Started off one to one, now I’m one to thirty.

Caroline - I have personal connections to everyone and understand the context where everyone comes from.

Camilla - A relaxing experience where we know eachother.

Raya - I extended my network. Action point is to start using the social media tools as much as I can.

Hoda – I have become optimistic, I had lost all my hopes.

Abeer - Friendship.

Malin – Constant learning and friendship. Next step is to go to Damaskus.

Eliza – new interest for the middle east, and next step will be to learn more.

Sofia – will take care of this network.

Antonia – greatful for your stories.

Karin – we are a good family – you challenge your familly, you cry together, you fight and laugh. I’ve decided to do something else in life when I come home.

Pernilla – want to use what I can do and am good at to help you do what you are good at - revolutions.

Noha – I will miss you all. The network is very important so I think you will all be a big puzzle that will help you all.

Norhan – I think this network is really working for change. I have been asking questions and got help. I have learned something about each one of our mentors here. Now I have energy and I will lead my own project and runt my own baby.

Ida – glad we are so united. I have heard such great stories and is happy to bring them home.

Sara – sisterhood. The beauty of contrast.

Solidad – beauty of trust, honesty and acceptance.

Looklet's impact on lifestyle

I love looklet, but here they show that they are not aware of the impact they as a messanger and images as a medium have. It's obvious that they try to be startling with headlines as 'Smooth Criminals' and 'Pamela Des Barres', but I truly hope the fashion concept below doesn't spread around. It's so easy to get used to and accept an image, a style, a concept, a habit just by seeing or hearing it often enough. This is a stylish image, but the lifestyle is maybe not that grate and should not be glorified. It's even a lie that you will be able to stay a chic party queen all through your pregnancy and the following years - says a bitter mother of three :-). And again we'd rather be Joan than Betty.

The problem is that I just helped them spread it around...
