Asma was our beautiful Emirati interpreter. As you'll see in this video, she is gentle, engaging, earnest and simply delightful. Her smile lights up her whole face and makes you feel happy simply to be in her presence. She interpreted for both project teams and came out with us a couple times, much to the delight of the fine gentlemen in the team. ;-) Asma talked to me quite a bit about abayas and explained going to the tailor to have one custom designed. She has gorgeous taste - one of her abaya had peacock feathers on the sleeves with sparkly stones to highlight the pattern. The one she's wearing in this video has pink satin edging covered in black lace. Just beautiful, just like she is.
Asma also went beyond the call of duty when she interpreted - she expressed interest in our topics and had absolutely no difficulty engaging our client in conversations and reinforcing the importance of what we were doing. It was so lovely to meet her and hear about being an Emirati woman firsthand.
I think it's fair to say I speak for the whole team to send a huge THANK YOU to Asma for being part of UAE Team 2... we were the better for having you with us!
Al salam alaykum, Asma... #ibmcsc uae
