Melissa Schlimm is a German national and Simone Lawrence is Australian but both had lived in Dubai for many years and had worked all over the Gulf. The authors and participants at this gathering took the city’s incredible global diversity to another level.Īfter one of my talks, I was invited for coffee by two polished, professional and very enthusiastic women who owned and ran the Ameliorate Group, a small training company. Because of promotional trips to Japan and India, I already had a sense of the book’s ability to speak to people in very different cultures, but the festival in Dubai upped this by a considerable notch. I was there to talk about How Women Rise, which had been published 10 months before. In spring of 2019 I was invited to the Dubai Festival of Books, held in Festival City, a luxurious complex of hotels and stores situated on Dubai Creek.
