WOMEN ON DUBAI WOMEN’S RUN

- Compiled by Sandhya D’Mello

I think the majority of us underestim­ate ourselves, because we are judged so easily by our appearance or our background. We are all capable doing more... we are all women of substance, we just need to believe it and not listen to the judgement of others

Maria Conceicao,

Founder of Maria Cristina Foundation

I am grateful that throughout my career I’ve received so much support from the women in my life... these days discussion­s shouldn’t be on empowering women as such — we’re already strong — but rather how our wider society can be empowered by the women in it

Donna Benton,

Founder of

The Entertaine­r

Engage, educate and empower women by commitment, words and actions [so they can] evolve and emerge as persons with self-esteem, living their lives with exuberance. Live in the now... what you are is what you have been; what you’ll be is what you do now

Sandi Saksena,

Empowermen­t officer at Echelon Advisors

I’m beyond grateful that I get opportunit­ies to share my passion for movement and inspire other women to pursue their fitness goals. The Dubai Women’s Run this year is much more than a run — it’s a call to action... [and] inspire generation­s to be fearless in reaching their goals in life

Jade Palmer,

Nike master trainer and BARE #trainBLACK master trainer
