To commemorate International Women’s Day which we celebrated on 8th March - today Exclusive Links brings to you Episode 14 of our Podcast, Property Talk from Louise’s Lounge “International Women living in Dubai.” Host Louise Heatley is joined by two lovely ladies who are an inspiring celebration of strong successful women living in Dubai, Tricia Evans and Zahra Abdalla. Tricia moved to Dubai 28 years where she became the first Business Coach in the region. She self financed and single handedly raised her daughter as a working mom, has been a board and active member of Gulf for Good for the past 11 years, and is a respected contributor to the IBWG community.  She is an active adventure traveler and her next big trip is planned to the Arctic in April.  Zahra is half-Iranian and half-Sudanese and considers herself a modern-day Bedouin. She has called Dubai home for the past 17 years as she continues on her culinary journey and international travels as a cookbook author, entrepreneur and social media influencer. Zahra is an advocate for social issues including food wastage, hunger, environment, mindfulness and women’s empowerment.
