I’am Leila from PARIS. I was born in France where my grandfather landed during Colonization in Algeria. My mother was born during war and I grew up in PARIS with the heritage of war, resistance, Independence, Freedom & the fight against injustice. I would like to deeply thanks the Founder of this exceptional and unique Beauty pageant for redefining what is Beauty while promoting the true essence of Women empowerment, promoting success stories from inspiring womens, spreading awareness about Women Leadership across UAE & Arab region. I also feel extremely lucky and I’am very grateful for being part of this wonderful adventure while being able to inspire other womens to become their best versions. It's a privilege for me to have been selected to be a participant of Miss Middle-East 2025 and make an impact across the Arab Region. As a French-Arab Women & living in a Muslim-Arab country like UAE, we lead here wisdom & elegance. We live in a country where women rights at the TOP and I’am so thankful for what UAE has offered to me until today, for instance in Sports I had done some achievements such as climbing 8 times the stairs (53 Levels) of Business Central Tower, I became a certified & Licenced Diver, I became an Endurance Horse rider, I was a finisher of an intense mountain Trail run in Oman. I ‘am a multitalented woman which is not so appreciated in my country; FRANCE but here in UAE it’s a memorable and multi rewarding Journey.
I lived studied and worked in 5 different countries. (France, Italy, Uk, Finland and UAE). I also hold multidisciplinary Degrees from Europe. I worked hard while studying in order to be able to study abroad one year in UK, I hold a Bachelor in International Management from Cambridge, a Master Degree in Strategic Marketing and also an Executive Master Degree from one of the TOP Business School in PARIS in DATA, E-commerce and AI. UAE is definitively my HOME and a land which has specific place in my heart since 2013 when I started to work in Dubai. I’m a Business & Strategy Leader and C-Suite Advisor in Digital Transformation.
I’am thankful to the unique opportunity given to me today to share my journey as a strong, independent women who live with Wisdom, purpose, consistency, determination, resilience, passion and deep ethics. I found stability, balance & peace after learning how to master to surf with elegance during struggles, hard time & challenges. I exceed obstacles and only fear God. With time & experience, I learnt to recover fast & quickly adapt myself to any new type of hard time. I learnt to switch gracefully and be like a fish in an ocean in any new hard environment. I always choose roads which send me to Independency because my purpose is always to stay Financially independent, Be Free to do what I want to achieve. I train myself to remain mentally and emotionally Strong to always create good environment to be able to take best decisions in Life. I worked hard to be trusted in everything I do. My goal is to be systematically ready for any change good or bad. Life is full of Up & down and the most important is not what happened but how to overcome with success. I’am truly thankful towards what UAE has allowed me to do and to became Who am I today. Success is not how much you currently have in your Bank account but it is the process, it is the journey. Success is what we do every day as a Strong woman to become a better version. Success is how much we love ourselves? How much we care and take care of ourselves first and then others. Success is being aware and accepting our vulnerability. It is then how we train to remain strong mentally, spiritually, physically, intellectually, it is also how much we protect ourselves? How much we defend ourselves? Which marks we leave in our society? Which impact we have in the community or in our current environment? I’am here to break stereotypes, barriers & inspired other women to become more confident & more successful. As a Strong Women here in UAE we shine and make impacts. I’am here to promote the desire to reach Moon with Leadership, resilience, Strength, advocacy, SELF LOVE and self-awareness. The time to shine inside Out is NOW.
