Out and About STYLE Magazine Issue 4 Vol. 2

Out and About STYLE Mag. was created out of the need to see more 'real people' in the media. As such, our content is completely celebrity-free. Instead, we focus on "real people living extraordinary lives" - People that can provide real inspiration. Our magazine is big on real stories and relatable topics.  - Marsha Fry, Editor-in-Chief.

as a whole. As we say, we are Africa inspiring the world. We have created a platform that brings together every African, Afrocentric and lovers of Africa under one roof, where they call it home away from home. Kiza is the place where the spirit of Africa comes alive. We are the African community in Dubai and the neighbouring cities. We showcase Africa and its culture through sight, sound and taste through different events and offerings on a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis. We also partner with other like-minded organisations to achieve this same goal—a united community. We help foster a tightly-knit community across the board, which is also key to our success. WHAT KIND OF CULTURE EXISTS IN YOUR ORGANISATION, AND HOW DID YOU ESTABLISH IT? We practice “Ubuntuism”, which literally means ‘I am because we are’ or ‘Humanity towards others’. We all succeed or fail together. We are all connected. We are one big family where we all pull together in the same direction based on our vision. The only way to establish this ideal is by personal example and exemplary leadership. We observe this closely in our restaurant operations. WHAT’S YOUR IDEA OF SUCCESS? Success to me is being able to create an environment where people can flourish, where they can express their talents, gifts and skills to the limit and be rewarded for it—making greatness out of the seemingly ordinary. This is my passion and where I get fulfilment. WHAT ARE YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT? My passion is life itself—what one can make out of it by pursuing one’s dreams fearlessly. WHAT ENTREPRENEURIAL TRICKS HAVE YOU DISCOVERED TO KEEP YOU FOCUSED AND PRODUCTIVE IN YOUR BUSY DAY-TO-DAY SCHEDULE? I don’t know if they are tricks, but the two main things that keep me focused are faith and hope. WHAT KEY ACTIVITIES WOULD YOU RECOMMEND ENTREPRENEURS TO INVEST THEIR TIME IN? It is quite tough being an entrepreneur, so things that build up one’s morale spiritually, mentally and physically are highly recommended. Taking time out of your busy schedule to bless and support others also helps. 54

We have created a platform that brings together every<br />

African, Afrocentric <strong>and</strong> lovers of Africa under one roof,<br />

where they call it home away from home.<br />

Kiza is the place where the spirit of Africa comes alive. We<br />

are the African community in Dubai <strong>and</strong> the neighbouring<br />

cities. We showcase Africa <strong>and</strong> its culture through sight,<br />

sound <strong>and</strong> taste through different events <strong>and</strong> offerings on<br />

a daily, weekly, monthly <strong>and</strong> yearly basis. We also partner<br />

with other like-minded organisations to achieve this same<br />

goal—a united community. We help foster a tightly-knit<br />

community across the board, which is also key to our success.<br />

WHAT KIND OF CULTURE EXISTS IN YOUR<br />

ORGANISATION, AND HOW DID YOU ESTABLISH<br />

IT?<br />

We practice “Ubuntuism”, which literally means ‘I am because<br />

we are’ or ‘Humanity towards others’. We all succeed or fail<br />

together. We are all connected. We are one big family where<br />

we all pull together in the same direction based on our vision.<br />

The only way to establish this ideal is by personal example <strong>and</strong><br />

exemplary leadership. We observe this closely in our restaurant<br />

operations.<br />

<strong>and</strong> skills to the limit <strong>and</strong> be rewarded for it—making greatness<br />

out of the seemingly ordinary. This is my passion <strong>and</strong> where I get<br />
