Fathia Ahmed founded Heritage for Henna
which started out as a small shop at a hotel in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It
was a hit with foreign visitors and convinced Mrs. Ahmed that there was a
market for henna decoration outside of the region. With sponsorships her
business grew to 28 locations throughout the Emirates.
The art of henna has been handed down from generation to
generation in Arab culture. What Mrs.
Ahmed has done is turn it into a business that in a way will continue the
tradition of henna but at the same time introduce it to new cultures. It
becomes a way for others to learn more about Arab culture.
Heritage for Henna has global ambitions so you can be sure
it will expose the rest of the world to a form of Arabian heritage while making
profit at the same time. The company is also using the franchising model to
expand business.
What’s just as amazing as the current success of the
business is that Mrs. Ahmed is the CEO of her own company. If women in the Western
business world are still demanding for more equality with their male
counterpart, you can just imagine the challenges Mrs. Ahmed has been and will
be facing.
She comes from a more conservative culture where the
expectations of women are vastly different and unequal to men. Nevertheless she
has continued to move forward. This in itself is already a stunning achievement
for Mrs. Ahmed and an inspiration for all women.
