Talkative with Ahmad was born out of a moment of self-reflection, during a pause in my life when I first moved to Dubai. Just a month later, the world came to a standstill in 2020. I wanted to connect with people, to create a space where their stories could inspire me and I could inspire them. A refuge found in the vulnerability of creative strength. The first format of Talkative with Ahmad was audio only, but I always held onto the dream of a filmed version. Today, that moment has arrived. The new season is filmed, and I, Ahmad, am stepping forward more confident, and more ready.

#talkativewithahmad With Astrid Lesuisse A friend, An Art Curator, A Creative Strategist
<p>Astrid Lesuisse is my friend, a confidante and an inspiring woman in the art and creative industry. But above all, she is a creative strategist, an art manager with a strong business flair, a curator, an artist agent, an art PR and so much more.She was there for me when I first moved to Dubai, and I did my best to always be there for her too. We worked together, laughed together, and were disappointed by things almost at the same time. Yet we grew, a lot. We grew through our commitment to ethics, passion, talent, honesty, our love for life and art, and our natural ability to see beauty in almost everything.I am truly honored to share a little of her, and of us, with you all.</p><p>أستريد ليسويز هي صديقتي، وموضع ثقة، وامرأة مُلهمة في عالم الفن والصناعات الإبداعية. لكنها قبل كل شيء، استراتيجية إبداعية، ومديرة فنون تمتلك حسًا تجاريًا قويًا، وقيمة فنية، ووكيلة فنانين، ومتخصصة في العلاقات العامة الفنية، وأكثر من ذلك بكثير.كانت إلى جانبي عندما انتقلت إلى دبي في بداياتي، وحرصت دائمًا أن أكون إلى جانبها أيضًا. عملنا معًا، وضحكنا معًا، وشعرنا بخيبات الأمل في التوقيت نفسه تقريبًا. ومع ذلك، نمونا كثيرًا. نمونا بفضل التزامنا بالأخلاقيات، والشغف، والموهبة، والصدق، وحبنا للحياة والفن، وقدرتنا الطبيعية على رؤية الجمال في كل شيء تقريبًا.يشرفني حقًا أن أشارككم جزءًا منها، ومن قصتنا معًا.#talkativewithahmad #mydubai #womeninart #arabartists #podcasting #artindubai </p>
