Message from the founder
Hi! I am Gabriela and I moved to Dubai less than a year ago.
Leaving my home country behind and moving to a completely new place was a very stressful experience. I found myself in a city where I didn’t know anyone. I had no idea what steps to take next—how to find a job, where to go out, or how to meet new people.
At that time, I had also recently reverted to Islam, and I was in need of guidance and support in my new journey. Navigating so many changes all at once was overwhelming, and I felt lost and alone.
It was through those challenges that the idea for Ladies
Connect Dubai was born. I wanted to create a welcoming, supportive, and faith-conscious community where other women wouldn’t have to face the same struggles I went through. A place where we could empower and uplift one another, share knowledge, and build lasting friendships.
My hope is that through Ladies Connect Dubai, we can create a network of women who inspire, support, and guide each other, regardless of where we come from or how long we’ve been
here. May this community become a source of comfort and connection for every woman who joins.
With love and gratitude
Gabriela
Founder of Ladies Connect Dubai
