My name is Cara Feighery and I am a senior here at Indiana University. I, along with Salima Lalani (another Kelley student), will be spending the week at Insight Dubai, a conference that focuses on women and empowerment in the Arab world. It consists of 50 women from the Dubai Women's College and 50 women from all around the world. For more information about the conference, feel free to visit its website at: dwc.hct.ac.ae/insight-dubai/home.html
The plane ride here was long, but otherwise uneventful. We had a brief layover in Washington DC, and from there a direct flight to Dubai. It was dark out by the time we left the airport, so other than a brief walk down the street our hotel is on, I haven’t actually seen much of the city itself yet.
Right now I’m relaxing in my hotel room. My roommates are from California, Turkey, Bulgaria, and Kenya, so it will be exciting to get to know everyone as the week goes on.
The conference officially begins tomorrow morning - I can’t wait! We are meeting for breakfast at 8:30 AM, so I’m off to bed.
Good night!
