Iman El Deeb: The Reality Behind-The-Scenes
In this episode our co-host Yasmine Kenawi speaks to Egyptian Model and Entrepreneur Iman El Deeb aka @camelicked. Iman, along with her sister Yousra El Deeb, run one of Egypt's first and most prominent modeling agencies UNN Models. After a career that started in Italy, Iman moved to India for a while, and then back to her hometown Cairo. A return that went on to change the course of her career. Iman has been featured in Vogue Arabia, Harper's Bazaar Arabia, ELLE India, and Grazia India. Iman talks to us about the real and not-so-glamorous behind-the-scenes (BTS) of building a modeling agency, battling cultural stereotypes and fighting for diversity, and finally embracing her unique look and powerful character.
