Shatha Almutawa, the director of the Dubai-based Kutubna Cultural Center, reveals that she received much love and support from the people around her, which helped bring her vision to life.
A community effort, sometimes
Sometimes, along with a sense of realism, it's also the love, support and honest feedback of people that can keep you grounded in your vision. Often, it does help to keep the fears and doubts in check. Shatha Almutawa, the director of the Dubai-based Kutubna Cultural Center, navigated different difficult dreams throughout her life. After becoming a respected professor and scholar abroad---a job that many would aspire for---she changed the course of her life after returning to the UAE to raise her children. And so, she found a new world for herself, creating Kutubna, an independent bookstore and cultural center.
It wasn't an easy journey to start something new entirely, but as Almutawa mentions, it was also the support of the people around her that kept her pursuing her dream, along with her own grit and resilence. Needless to say, there is a joy in celebrating each milestone, success with those around you, and it gives you the strength to keep working on a vision, despite the bumps.
