The third speech we did took place on Tuesday May 10th in Al Worood Academy. Our exceptional guests were fashion designer, Hind Beljafla and illustrator, Moza Matar who spoke to the girls of Grade 11. This talented duo were so inspiring to listen to!
The speech began by Moza Matar recalling how her success bloomed. Her love for interior designing and illustration, directed her towards choosing a career path. However, even though Moza does not have a day-job as an interior designer, she still does the job independently and will have an office of her own soon, inshAllah! She worked for big projects such as designing for Symphony Style. You can check out her creative work on her blog: Fashion Art Frosting.
Moza reinforced on the fact that even if you could not get a job in what you love to do, this should not stop you from venturing in the area you have the passion for.
Following, Hind Beljafla started her speech by recognizing her supportive sister, Reem, and how she supported Hind to get where she is now. Hind narrated her story of how the idea of DAS Collection bloomed and how the outstanding masterpieces, came to life. The love for uniqueness and designing, inspired Hind and Reem to join together and form the empire DAS is at today!
Hind emphasized on the importance of searching within oneself, exploring one's interests, knowing exactly what one is passionate about and from there choose a major in university.
