In this episode of Pulse of Dubai, host Margaret Hurd continues the Emirati Women’s Day special with artist Aysha Al Harmani, known widely by her creative identity Mnour. Aysha opens up about how her alter ego was born in the early days of social media and how it became a vehicle for self-expression, freedom, and cultural storytelling.

From sketching in her teenage years to collaborating with global brands like Adidas, Apple, and Deliveroo, Aysha shares the milestones that shaped her career, the philosophy behind making art accessible to the public, and the cultural responsibility she carries through her work. She also reflects on balancing tradition and modernity, her transition from government roles to cultural partnerships, and her dream of creating art that becomes part of the collective memory of the UAE.

🎧 A deep dive into identity, representation, and the evolving power of Emirati women in art and culture.
