We are all fans of Netflix because they have provided us with hours of amazing entertainment which in turn had created hours of conversation and debate with our friends and family over plot lines and characters.
now we have a reason to love them even more: They are launching their first ever Ramadan campaign and it is about women!
After the success of the show ‘Girl Boss’ telling the story of Sophia Amorusa’s journey creating the multi-million dollar fashion empire, Nasty Gal, the Netflix team were inspired to find Girl Bosses all across the Middle East in order to show how badass Arab power women can be! So every day this Ramadan, Netflix will tell the story of one of these Girl Bosses through short videos, so stay tuned for a month of female empowerment.
From chefs to youtubers to artists to business owners, these women represent the best and the most exciting of entrepreneurial spirit!
Of the 30 women that are involved, here are some of our favourite to look out for:
1) Nourane Owais – Illustrator and Photographer
Nourane tells us, “I’m a self-taught illustrator and photographer who also teaches watercolor in Arabic on YouTube, it’s a space that has so little content in Arabic and I wanted to take the challenge of making a contribution to filling it and help introduce more people in MENA to the beautiful art of watercolor.”
She adds, “I hope this Netflix campaign encourages more talented girls to pursue their full potential, I hope more players in the media world realize that women can be exceptional leads, but most of all I hope people see this and really enjoy it and have fun with it!”

2) Sarrah Abdelrahman- Actress and internet video-maker
According to Sarrah, “It is so important for big companies like Netflix to recognise the skills and talents of women in the Arab world because they have to make double and sometimes triple the effort to make it, so any recognition to these women can only encourage more women and girls out there to step up their game and get motivated to work.”
On what other women involved in the campaign she would recommend, Sarrah tells us, “I was lucky to meet 29 amazing women from all over the Arab world so it’s hard to recommend just one. But if I had to I’d pick Injy Abo el Soud because she is awesome, and Asrar from Saudi Arabia because she is hilarious!”

3) Amina Amoniak- Photographer and art director
“I’m not a pro of the superwomen myth, Netflix team respected my own character and nature, they have gathered authentic women that I follow and admire. I trust the event! It will be grandiose!” says Amina.

So stay tuned this month to see all of these fabulous 30 women in action!
Alongside these activations they have released this awesome video ad as part of the campaign showing that through all the stresses that busy women go through, with cooking for lots of people, cars breaking down, needing a power nap at work, we should always take a bit of time everyday to put up our feet and enjoy our favorite shows!
And if you watch closely, you might be able to find 7 hidden references to our favorite Netflix programs.

Who would answer to the terrible obstinate crimes against humanity? If Not the obstinate witness, and whistle-blowers?
Ce n’ était poutant pas ma faute si ma guerre n’ était pas brillante: Tous les jours, j’ étais au rendez-vous dans le ciel et mon avion revenait criblé d’ éclats et moi sain et sauf.
Je bombardais seulement, pas un metier spectaculaire, comme dans la chasse.
La solitude du soldat face a la mort: C’ était le lot de tous les armées du monde Arab en guerre contre Israel. La sociéte civile s’ en fouter pas mal de la condition du soldat. Syrian soldiers left by the side of their tanks for Israeli jets to bomb them
Dans le tier monde, la frontiére entre vie et mort se dilue dans la pauvreté, la famine, la négligence et l’ insouciance. La mort des jeunes est habituelle et generalisé
Le proper de la guerre est de prendre sous ses ailes noires tout le monde, sans exception
Deux langue differentes seulement? Celle de ceux qui ont participés directement á la guerre et celle des civiles? Même en temps de paix, le dialogue est obscure et hystérique
Before this cold winter, my health nurtured adolescent dreams. Hope was still high.
We take it for granted that the eyes are always kept moist. Our inclination to take delicate matter for granted is the source of our difficulties.
I discovered that “eye drops” are the main cure for many health difficulties at a certain age, particularly during the flu season and dry season.
Erdogan of Turkey is ever ready to please the superpowers in public speeches, and never was capable of delivering on promises. He desperately wants to remain a dictator for another decade
Erdogan has been smoking nasty weeds, far longer than Donald Trump. He has no idea where to go from here and how to alienate everyone, inside and outside Turkey
Very funny: explaining False facts as Alternative facts. Kind the difference between conjecture and pseudo-science?
Que le silence régne. Ce sont plutot les témoins des crimes qui sont jugés et maltraités: Il fallait pas voir, entendre, crier, appeler au secours, intervenir…
Le cours devastateur du temps: vider les crypts anciens d’ un covent, une cimetiére… pour ériger un hotel 5 etoiles.
Est-ce vrai? Les cheveux continuent a pousser 1 cm par mois, même après la mort? Les designers de perruques n’ ont qu’ a ouvrire les crypts anciens et tondre les cheveux
Ecoutez le silence qui accable les pays regorgeant de prisons. Les ennemis du silence sont forcés au “silence”
L’ enjeu de la lute contre le silence est la vie humaine des systémes accablés de crime contre l’humanité.
Le silence est un signe de malheur et de crime. Demandez a une mére que veut dire le silence de son bébé dans la chamber voisine
Victoriano Gomez, 24 ans, était le Robin des Bois de Salvador. 14 familles régnees sur tout le territiore, et chaque famille avait son Guardia Rural, recruité parmi les droit-commun. Victoriano encourageait les paysans a reprendre leur terre.
L’ homme craint l’ homme qui a le potential de se faire prendre sa place: l’ emploi publique, á l’ ecole pour son enfant, le lit á l’ hospital…
Le guerillero du Salvador, Victoriano Gomez, a été fusiller par un peloton militaire au stade de foot, avec les équipes de televisions et reporters filmant directe l’ évenement, et le stade était bondé de spectateur. Middle-Age beheading ceremonies
From the port of Bagamoyo in Tanzania in East Africa, one million slaves were exported to the USA
Nos partisans vont á la lute, un fusil á la main et une ardoise d’ écolier sur le dos. On doit rattraper 5 siècles de retard.
Che Guevara and Allende have started the first chapter of the history of Latin America’s popular revolutions. It is looking good, so far.
