Hala Kazim Is An Empowering Emirati Icon Guiding Women To Happiness
Today holds significant importance for the nation, as it’s Emirati Women’s Day. It’s a time to cheer for all the incredible Emirati women making their mark globally and within the country!
In the spotlight this year, among the numerous inspirational Emirati women, is the remarkable Hala Kazim
Hala Kazim – a mother of five sons, grandmother, wife, sister, influencer, and a life educational coach
Starting off as an artist, 60-year-old Hala embarked on a creative journey where she delved into a wide range of artistic styles and techniques for more than 20 years. As her passion evolved, she took a bold step and established her very own company, “My Private Collection.” Her artworks garnered attention worldwide, showcased in exhibitions across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and gracing the esteemed Harrods Department Store in the heart of London, United Kingdom.
Moreover, back in 2011, Hala took a daring leap and brought to life “Journey Through Change,” a venture all about sparking positive vibes in people’s lives. Imagine a mix of counseling, coaching, lively workshops, engaging talks, and even team-building hikes. This innovative idea of self-exploration is one-of-a-kind, offering not just a journey within, but also a chance to explore the world’s most stunning landscapes. From trips to Greece, Austria, Bali, Japan and more, these outings are meant to restore the confidence of women. Hala made history as the pioneering Emirati and Arab to create a life-changing program exclusively for WOMEN.
Journey Through Change trips are worldwide, designed for women to become their better selves
Hala’s dedication to transforming lives and her genuine passion for social service led to her receiving the following awards:
- 2022 – Most Influential Arab Woman DIAFA Award
- 2020 – Kindness advocate of Instagram
- 2018 – Arab Woman of the Year, in the category of New Media in the UAE
- 2017 – Arab Woman of the Year, award achievements in “Motivation & Well-being “in London, UK
- 2015 – Chosen and selected by Google and the United Nations as one of the most influential social media personalities in the Arab world in a global event called #MyVoiceMatters
- 2014 – Emirates Award for Creativity in the field of Community Service
- 2013 – Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Award for Best Business Woman of the Year
Besides Journey Through Change, Hala tackles crucial women’s issues on her social platforms, deepening her bond with the audience
Additionally, she champions transparency by openly interacting and brainstorming on crucial topics within public forums, inviting diverse insights and fostering an enriching dialogue. Her video content covers a spectrum of topics, circling themes like urging women to earn time with their children before it slips away, advocating for compassion towards the divorced, and offering solace and support for women finding strength in saying ‘No’.
Another notable stride was taken when Hala and her 42-year-old son, entrepreneur/interviewer Anas Bukhash, co-hosted a highly successful OSN Ramadan show called “A Sit Down with Anas and Hala.” This captivating series embarked on a conversational exploration, delving into the complexities of contemporary relationships as the mother-son duo navigated through subjects ranging from coping with loss to establishing personal boundaries and nurturing connections.
Speaking of shows, Hala & Life was another project hosted by Hala, that highlighted the various challenges numerous individuals faced in their lives
Hala fearlessly tackled taboo subjects that often stay unspoken, delving into themes many women might hesitate to openly discuss. With her guests, she embarked on candid conversations to dissect the roots, impacts, and potential solutions, aided by expert insights. Across the span of eight enlightening episodes, concluding in January 2021, the show addressed crucial topics—ranging from sexual abuse and addiction to infertility and the experiences of children with divorced parents.
On this Emirati Women’s Day, Hala Kazim’s journey radiates empowerment and inspiration that we all love to see. Her path illuminates the infinite potential that Emirati women hold, igniting a flame of possibility for the community.
