HOW IT STARTED

I started my modeling career at a young age, gaining attention as a model while working with Asmahan Enterprise in 2015. However, I gained wider notice and transitioned into becoming a socialite and fashion influencer in 2018. In 2019, I founded my own company, LA ROUGE.

My inspiration comes from my strong passion for creativity and expressing myself through fashion and lifestyle choices. I strive to create content that is visually stunning, inspiring, and relatable to my audience. Authenticity is key to me, and I aim to showcase my genuine personality and values in my content. 

CHALLENGES

Like any journey, I have faced my fair share of challenges. Some of these include navigating the competitive nature of the fashion and influencer industry, managing the demands of running a business, and balancing personal and professional commitments. However, I see challenges as opportunities for growth and learning, and I strive to overcome them with determination and perseverance. 

ANY REGRETS?

Well, not at all. Regrets are a natural part of life and if there’s going to be any I would prefer to focus on the lessons and growth that come from them rather than dwelling on them. I believe that every experience, whether positive or negative, shapes us and helps us become better versions of ourselves. 

DO YOU HAVE A MENTOR?

Yes. My mentor should be my Mom.

WHAT ARE YOUR FEARS?

Losing someone dear to me.

PROJECTIONS

Looking ahead, my projections involve expanding both my business and personal life. I aim to increase my fame and reach a wider global audience while improving and strengthening my company, LA ROUGE. Additionally, I hope to get married in the process and continue growing both personally and professionally.

HOW DO YOU COMBINE BUSINESS/PROFESSION WITH FAMILY LIFE?

Balancing business, profession, or trade with family life can be challenging. However, I believe it’s essential to prioritize and manage time effectively. Setting boundaries, delegating tasks, and maintaining open communication with family members are some strategies that can help achieve a healthy work-life balance. 

ADVICE TO FELLOW WOMEN:

My advice to fellow women is to believe in themselves and their capabilities. Embrace your uniqueness, follow your passions, and never be afraid to take risks. Surround yourself with a supportive network and seek mentorship when needed. Most importantly, never give up on your dreams, work hard, and always strive for personal and professional growth. Remember, you have the power to create the life you envision for yourself.
