This month’s cover is the work of bazaar-favorite Nada Dalloul. Kuwaiti born and raised; Nada’s Palestinian roots and family ties keep her connected to her ancestral homeland. The visual motifs like the key, the olive branch, the map and the playing card theme all embody the plight of Palestinians as well as echoes how they are constantly being used and abused by the big players. Finding hope and motivation is our forte, which is why we spoke to multi-faceted Meshary AlNassar, an interior designer who is seamlessly blending soft Scandinavian design with a minimal, oriental twist for Truth or Dare. Our Up Close and Personal this month is a woman who doesn’t seem to even see the glass ceiling as she is speeding to get to it. Seasoned entrepreneur Tarfa Al Farhan has also found exhilaration in competitive horse riding and is training to become a certified scuba diving instructor. That’s only scratching the surface of all the fabulous content to come. Flip the page, sit back and relax!
