<p>Basmah Osman had us all reaching for our notebooks after her inspiring appearance today on The Big Breakfast Show with Rob and Nadine, live from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM on Nile FM. The conversation quickly turned into a powerful deep dive into self-discovery, personal growth, and empowerment. Basmah shared a message that set the tone for the entire interview: <em><strong>&ldquo;If you change your mind, you can change your life.&rdquo;</strong></em></p>
<p>Basmah, an executive Coach and a Managing Partner at elleKhan Division of FekrKhan, is also serving as a jury member at the upcoming International Women&rsquo;s Summit. With a decade of experience at the Federation of Egyptian Industries, she later transitioned into the world of executive coaching and has since become a strong voice in the women&rsquo;s empowerment movement.</p>
<p>When asked how she defines success, Basmah reflected, &ldquo;Success in life is about asking yourself&mdash;who do I want to be? I want to do this, I want to be this.&rdquo; She emphasized the importance of self-awareness as a catalyst for building confidence and making informed life choices.</p>
<p>But what if you're uncertain about your path? Basmah encourages asking yourself, &ldquo;What are my options and resources?&rdquo; Every step forward, she says, is either a move in the right direction or a lesson that helps clarify what you truly want. Disappointment, while difficult, is often an inevitable part of the journey&mdash;but it also prepares you for what's next.</p>
<p>She highlighted the power of failure and starting over: &ldquo;If I haven&rsquo;t been through difficult experiences, how can I empathize with others?&rdquo; According to her, pain and setbacks are not just part of life&mdash;they&rsquo;re essential to understanding it from a human perspective.</p>
<p>On the topic of imposter syndrome, Basmah shared candidly, &ldquo;I&rsquo;m 60 years old and I still get it.&rdquo; That voice in your head that questions your worth is just your mind trying to keep you in the comfort zone, she explained. The key to overcoming it? Focus on taking one step at a time&mdash;almost like manifesting success.</p>
<p>As she prepares to sit on the jury panel at the International Women&rsquo;s Summit, Basmah shared how she gears up for public speaking: &ldquo;I do prepare, but I also read the room. Every audience is different.&rdquo; What excites her the most? &ldquo;Discovering the hidden gems&mdash;meeting women from different industries feels like a treasure hunt.&rdquo;</p>
<p>She also made a powerful statement on women&rsquo;s representation: &ldquo;If women aren&rsquo;t given space, they&rsquo;ll create their own.&rdquo; And she urged companies and stakeholders to diversify their teams: &ldquo;The world can&rsquo;t run on just 50% of its population. When men and women work together, you get a powerhouse.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Basmah Osman left us with more than inspiration&mdash;she left us with a mindset shift.</p>

Basmah Osman: "If You Change Your Mind, You Can Change Your Life" — Self-Empowerment and More

<p><strong>By:</strong> Yomna Walid</p>
<p>Nesma has officially been selected to participate in the prestigious Hollywood Arab Film Festival. The moving short follows 12-year-old Nesma, who pretends to be Olfat convincing everyone around her that Olfat is still alive in a desperate attempt to avoid returning to the shelter.</p>
<p>Nile FM interviewed the talented debut director Rahaff Ahmed, who opened up about the emotional roots of her first film, the challenges of bringing it to life, and what this milestone means for her career.</p>
<p><strong>How did you feel when you first found out that your short film, Nesma, had been officially selected for the Hollywood Arab Film Festival?</strong></p>
<p>I was overwhelmed with emotion. Nesma is my first short film and also my graduation project, so hearing that it got into an international festival like the Hollywood Arab Film Festival was surreal. I didn&rsquo;t expect it, it felt like a reward after months of effort, uncertainty, and pouring so much of myself into the film.</p>
<p><strong>What does this milestone mean to you personally and professionally, especially as your first short film?</strong></p>
<p>Personally, it means the world. Nesma is a very intimate story for me, rooted in real emotions I&rsquo;ve been dealing with. So seeing it reach others on such a scale is deeply moving. Professionally, it&rsquo;s a big step forward. As someone just starting out, I honestly didn&rsquo;t expect the film to make it into a festival like this, but it did, and that gave me the motivation to keep going and continue developing the stories I want to tell.</p>
<p><strong>Can you walk us through the journey of creating Nesma&mdash;what inspired the story, and what message did you hope to convey?</strong></p>
<p>The story was born out of personal grief. Two years ago, I lost my grandmother shortly after filming a documentary about her. That loss stayed with me. I found myself avoiding it and at the same time being consumed by it. Nesma is my attempt to give shape to that feeling of being caught between denial and pain. Like me, Nesma is just a child trying to navigate a harsh reality she didn&rsquo;t choose. I wanted to explore what it means to survive emotionally in a world that doesn&rsquo;t pause for your grief.</p>
<p><strong>What were the biggest challenges you faced during the making of the film?</strong></p>
<p>Directing a child actor was both the biggest challenge and a beautiful part of the process. Habiba, who played Nesma, is incredibly smart and intuitive, but as a child, she needed a lot of emotional guidance. Working with Meriam Altahawy, Habiba&rsquo;s acting coach, was a game-changer. She played a key role in helping Habiba tap into the character&rsquo;s emotions in an organic way. Balancing the emotional depth of the story with a young performer required patience and a lot of trust.</p>

<p><strong>You&rsquo;ve spoken about being grateful to those who supported you&mdash;was there someone in particular whose belief in Nesma made a lasting impact?</strong></p>
<p>Definitely. I owe so much to Alia Ibrahim, who developed the story with me and wrote the script. She understood my emotional starting point and helped translate it into a powerful narrative. I&rsquo;m also grateful to Ali El Arabi (Producer) and Rodrigo Brum (Project Supervisor) for their support and belief in the project from the beginning.</p>
<p><strong>How do you see this achievement shaping your next steps as a filmmaker? Are there new projects you&rsquo;re working on or thinking about?</strong></p>
<p>This recognition has definitely given me more motivation to keep going. Right now, I&rsquo;m working on a new short film called Heat. It was selected for Cinephilia&rsquo;s Workroom in January 2025. I&rsquo;m currently in the writing phase, and the story is much more intimate and emotionally raw.</p>
<p><strong>What do you hope international audiences will take away from Nesma, especially now that it's being screened at a global festival?</strong></p>
<p>I hope they leave thinking about the reality of how we often don&rsquo;t process grief properly. Life keeps moving forward, even when you feel completely stuck or shattered. When a child experiences something like that, it becomes even more complicated and isolating. Nesma is a 12-year-old girl doing everything she can to hold on to the little safety she has left. The story isn&rsquo;t about solving grief; it&rsquo;s about what happens when you&rsquo;re forced to carry it too soon, and how survival sometimes looks like pretending everything&rsquo;s okay when it&rsquo;s not.</p>
<p>&nbsp;From personal loss to international acclaim, Rahaff Ahmed&rsquo;s cinematic voice has struck a universal chord. If Nesma is any indication, her journey as a filmmaker is only just beginning.</p>

<p>After her special appearance accompanied the official French delegation with President of France Emmanuel Macron during his recent visit to Egypt, the opera singer, Egyptian mezzo- soprano Farrah El Dibany, became the talk of the world after her name quickly topping Google Trends.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Nile FM&rdquo; caught up with the Egyptian mezzo-soprano &ldquo;Farrah El Dibany&rdquo;, who&rsquo;s become a symbol of cultural diplomacy, to talk about the unforgettable moments behind the scenes, what it means to sing for world leaders, and how her diverse background has shaped her into the global artist she is today.</p>
<p><strong>Your name quickly topped Google Trends after the event &mdash; how did that public response make you feel?</strong></p>
<p>First of all, I knew from you that I was trending &mdash; I hadn&rsquo;t even checked! Thank you for letting me know. Honestly, it made me feel very touched and appreciated. I didn&rsquo;t expect all of this, but I quickly realized how important the visit was for Egypt, for France, and for the relationship between these two countries.</p>
<p><strong>You mentioned on social media how proud and deeply grateful you were to contribute to strengthening the ties between Egypt and France. Could you tell us more about what that moment meant to you personally?</strong></p>
<p>That moment, especially because I met both presidents &mdash; Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi and Emmanuel Macron &mdash; made me feel like I&rsquo;ve reached what I&rsquo;ve always dreamt of: dialogue, peace, love, and understanding. Bringing people together. That&rsquo;s been my mission even before I knew I wanted to be a singer.&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="https://ibb.co/d4GRC8Jp"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/GQcqYz3M/Photo-09-04-2025-12-41-25-PM-2.jpg" alt="Photo-09-04-2025-12-41-25-PM-2" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>As an Egyptian artist chosen by France to represent their cultural identity in Egypt &mdash; your homeland &mdash; how did that dual symbolism feel?</strong></p>
<p>I&rsquo;m honestly very proud to be representing both. I&rsquo;m proud that the French chose me to represent Egypt &mdash; because they know how appreciated I am here in Egypt. And I&rsquo;m just as proud that Egyptians see my French side and recognize my place in French society. It&rsquo;s a beautiful balance. The President of France always introduces me as &ldquo;The Egyptian&rdquo; not the international which makes me very proud of my own identity.</p>
<p><strong>This wasn&rsquo;t your first encounter with President Macron. You sang the French national anthem alongside him and his wife after his re-election, and again before the World Cup Final in 2022. How would you describe your relationship with France and its leadership?</strong></p>
<p>I would describe it as very positive and full of mutual respect. They appreciate my art, my persona, my work. And I appreciate what they are doing to promote my art and to help and support what I do as an artist. Because what I like about France is that they always promote culture and sports. And they always support anyone from any nationality, no matter where you&rsquo;re from I&rsquo;ve always felt valued</p>
<p><strong>You&rsquo;ve performed in front of world leaders, at globally watched events like World Cup, and The World Youth Forum, how do you prepare for such high-pressure, high-profile performances?</strong></p>
<p>I sang the national anthem at President Macron&rsquo;s re-election celebrations and again ahead of the 2022 World Cup Final. Also at the UNESCO&rsquo;s 75th. There were 30 presidents from all over the world, including His Excellency President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in the audience.</p>
<p>Then I sang in another event with high-profile presidents and leaders such as Hillary Clinton and President Macron at the Arab Institute in Paris. I also performed in front of royals from Jordan, Bahrain,<a href="https://ibb.co/JWD40WBs"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/DP0ysPVR/Photo-09-04-2025-12-41-25-PM.jpg" alt="Photo-09-04-2025-12-41-25-PM" border="0" /></a> and Saudi Arabia. And of course, in front of the first lady of Egypt and the first lady of Oman, Sultanate of Oman. So, as you've said, not always easy to perform in front of royals and presidents because it's a different mood and different energy. What I do is that I always go on stage thinking I'm singing to a human being. So no matter what his position is, at the end of the day, he or she is a human with feelings. And what I have to do, as I always do, is get to their feelings, to touch them from the inside with my music and with my voice.</p>
<p><strong>During this recent visit, was there a specific moment, conversation, or gesture &mdash; from President Macron or President El-Sisi &mdash; that moved you?</strong></p>
<p>Yes, actually. When I met both presidents, the first thing President El-Sisi told Macron was, &ldquo;We&rsquo;re very proud of Farrah, we know that you enjoy her voice&rdquo; Macron replied, &ldquo;of course...She&rsquo;s a reincarnation of Dalida&hellip;she a big diva, she is our diva.&rdquo; Then El-Sisi added, &ldquo;yes, she's our diva, Egyptian diva.&rdquo; And then they laughed and it was very nice. And President Sisi continued, &ldquo;She is our ambassador.&rdquo; And Macron agreed, &ldquo;She&rsquo;s our ambassador too &mdash; an ambassador of arts and culture.&rdquo; That moment gave me goosebumps. I&rsquo;ll never forget it.</p>
<p><strong>What was the most memorable part of accompanying the French delegation? Was there anything unexpected that made the experience even more special?</strong></p>
<p>There was a beautiful, spontaneous moment during our visit to the French Institute of Oriental Archaeology. It was past midnight. President Macron found lyrics of a Dalida song, looked at me and asked, &ldquo;Who sings this?&rdquo; I said, &ldquo;Dalida,&rdquo; and started singing. Then he joined in. We sang the whole song together. It was light, fun, and full of meaning. It felt very human and real.</p>
<p><strong>Your voice and presence have become a symbol of cultural diplomacy. In your opinion, how can classical music and opera help build bridges between nations?</strong></p>
<p>Classical music is a universal language. Opera isn&rsquo;t just about the words &mdash; it&rsquo;s about the emotions, the phrasing, the voice. I&rsquo;ve sung in places where people didn&rsquo;t speak the language at all, but they still felt it. That&rsquo;s the magic of opera. It touches something beyond language, people don&rsquo;t understand the language, they understand the feeling of opera.</p>
<p><strong>You've sung in several languages &mdash; Italian, French, German &mdash; and you&rsquo;ve studied in Berlin while holding a degree in engineering. How has your international background shaped you as an artist?</strong></p>
<p>It shaped me in every way. Architecture, especially, taught me structure, depth, and the importance of preparing with a concept. It trained me to approach a performance like a crafted piece of art. And being multilingual opened so many doors &mdash; I&rsquo;ve sung in over ten languages, including Arabic, Spanish, Japanese, and Russian.</p>
<p><a href="https://ibb.co/FLTRyQzQ"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/sdY8NTqT/Photo-09-04-2025-12-41-25-PM-1.jpg" alt="Photo-09-04-2025-12-41-25-PM-1" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>What do you feel when you perform in Egypt versus when you're on global stages? Is the connection with the audience different?</strong></p>
<p>Performing in Egypt is like singing to a big family. The audience doesn&rsquo;t just come to hear the music &mdash; they come to see me. There&rsquo;s a deep emotional connection that feels like home. Abroad, it&rsquo;s more about discovery. But in Egypt, it&rsquo;s about belonging.</p>
<p><strong>What would you say to young Egyptian women and artists who look up to you, those who see your journey as proof that dreams can cross borders?</strong></p>
<p>Don&rsquo;t follow trends. Discover your own dream, your own voice. It&rsquo;s okay to be different. Be proud of your identity and roots &mdash; they will carry you further than you imagine.</p>
<p><strong>Finally, what's next for you? Any exciting performances, collaborations, or projects we can look forward to?</strong></p>
<p>I&rsquo;m off to Jordan and China. I&rsquo;m also working on a big Dalida project and releasing a song with a well-known Japanese jazz composer. So yes &mdash; lots of exciting things coming soon!</p>
<p>Farrah El Dibany&rsquo;s journey is proof that music transcends borders, politics, and language &mdash; and that one voice, when rooted in authenticity, can echo across continents. As she continues to represent Egypt on the world stage, she reminds us that cultural diplomacy isn&rsquo;t just built in boardrooms &mdash; sometimes, it&rsquo;s built in song.</p>

<p>Imagine walking down the street and spotting your country's president, Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, strolling through El-Gamaleya, especially in Khan El-Khalili, alongside the president of France, Emmanuel Macron. This is precisely what happened to Islam Khaled, a shop owner who was focusing on his work until he heard the crowd welcoming the Egyptian president and Macron.</p>
<p>Eslam Khaled, 28 years old, was thrilled to share his joy with Nile FM Radio. He recounted the behind-the-scenes moments of their visit, the selfie he managed to capture, and the unexpected memory that will stay with him forever.</p>
<p><strong>Q: What was your reaction when you saw the two presidents approaching you?</strong></p>
<p>"I couldn&rsquo;t believe my eyes out of sheer joy. It felt surreal&mdash;like something out of a dream. One moment we were just standing at our shop, and the next, two presidents were right in front of us. It was extreme happiness."</p>
<p><strong>Q: Did you speak with President El-Sisi? What was the conversation about?</strong></p>
<p>"Yes, after both presidents greeted me, President El-Sisi had a short conversation with us. He told us how important it is to take care of our country, especially because we are the heart of tourism in Egypt &mdash;we're the ones who meet the foreigners and represent the culture. He thanked us for our warm welcome and was genuinely pleased. President Macron was also very impressed with the whole atmosphere."&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Q: Can you tell us more about how the visit happened?</strong></p>
<p>"No one had any idea. It was a complete surprise for us and for the tourists in the area. President Macron was so delighted that he didn&rsquo;t want to leave. The visit just happened without any arrangements, and it felt like a once-in-a-lifetime moment."&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="https://ibb.co/d0V81myr"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/4ZXh91x7/Whats-App-Image-2025-04-09-at-12-54-48-PM.jpg" alt="Whats-App-Image-2025-04-09-at-12-54-48-PM" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Q: How would you describe the scene during the visit?</strong></p>
<p>"It was incredibly beautiful. We were all so happy because of how humble President El-Sisi is. He walked up to people and greeted them himself. That kind of humility touched us."</p>
<p><strong>Q: Did any officials contact you afterward?</strong></p>
<p>"No, not really. The media reached out to us. There wasn&rsquo;t any direct communication from officials."</p>
<p><strong>Q: How did people around you react after the photo went viral?</strong></p>
<p>"I felt that people were genuinely happy for me. My family was so proud, and people on the streets started recognizing me and asking to take photos with me. It&rsquo;s been heartwarming."</p>
<p><a href="https://ibb.co/5xXZPyQk"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/93mP7Lxh/Be-Funky-collagegery-67.jpg" alt="Be-Funky-collagegery-67" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Q: How do you personally feel about the experience?</strong></p>
<p>"It&rsquo;s a feeling I can&rsquo;t even begin to describe&mdash;so much pride and joy. Just knowing I was part of that historic moment is something I&rsquo;ll never forget."</p>
<p><strong>Q: If you get the chance to meet El-Sisi again, what would you tell him?</strong></p>
<p>"You have a strong heart, and we&rsquo;re strong because of you. Thank you for this amazing visit; we hope it happens again. We love you even more after meeting you."</p>
<p>What began as an ordinary day in Khan El-Khalili quickly turned into a life-changing memory for Islam Khaled. With humility and a deep sense of patriotism, he shared a moment that touched millions across Egypt. His story is a reminder that sometimes, the most extraordinary experiences come unplanned, and when they do, they stay with us forever.</p>

<p><span style="color: #000000;"><em>"The sun&rsquo;s rays enter through the window to kiss your forehead and bless you on your special day. The garden birds wake up early to sing for you, and the lotus flowers bloom in your honor. The butterflies dance joyfully, flitting between the flowers to celebrate your day. Today is your day, Mother, so do not forget to pray for me. Amun has said that the prayers of children do not reach the ears of the heavens unless they come from their mother&rsquo;s lips. Today is your day, Mother."</em></span></p>
<p>These touching words were found on an ancient papyrus, revealing how deeply Egyptian children cherished their mothers.</p>
<p><strong>The Discovery of Love on Papyrus</strong><br />Egyptian tour guide Norhan Kilany, speaking to Nile FM about Mother&rsquo;s Day, shared a fascinating discovery from Tell el-Amarna. Among the ancient papyri, one beautifully captured a child&rsquo;s love for his mother, describing how flowers and lotus blossoms would bloom at the mere sight of her. The emotions recorded on these fragile sheets reveal the profound respect and affection ancient Egyptians had for their mothers.<br /> <br /><strong>The Word &lsquo;Set&rsquo;&mdash;A Title of Honor</strong><br />Today, the Arabic word Set (ست) is commonly used to refer to a lady. But in ancient Egypt, it had a far greater meaning&mdash;it signified a goddess, a noblewoman, or a figure of utmost reverence. Even today, when we say a mother is the rabba (ربة) of the house, we acknowledge her as the foundation of the home, deserving of all respect and admiration.<br /> <br /><strong>A Mother&rsquo;s Prayers Reach the Gods</strong><br />In ancient Egypt, mothers were believed to hold divine power in their words. Pharaohs advised their children never to forget their mothers in their prayers, and priests would often say: &ldquo;Do good for your mother because when she prays for you, God listens only to her words.&rdquo; A mother&rsquo;s voice was sacred, carrying love and blessings that were directly heard by the gods.<br /> <br /><strong>Mothers and the Life-Giving Nile</strong><br />Motherhood wasn&rsquo;t just recorded on papyrus&mdash;it was embedded in nature itself. The Nile, the source of life for ancient Egypt, was often compared to a mother. Just as the river&rsquo;s floodwaters brought nourishment to the land, a mother provided love, care, and sustenance to her children. This is why Mother&rsquo;s Day in Egypt was traditionally linked to the cycle of the Nile&rsquo;s floods&mdash;a tribute to the giving nature of motherhood.</p>
<p><strong>Isis: The Goddess of Motherhood</strong><br />The ancient Egyptians revered motherhood so much that they dedicated goddesses to symbolize it. Isis, the ultimate mother figure, was often depicted nursing her child, embodying the essence of care and devotion. Similarly, Hathor, the goddess of fertility and love, was honored in the month following the Nile&rsquo;s flood, a time associated with renewal and giving.<br /> <br /><strong>A Sacred Tribute in Every Home</strong><br />In ancient Egypt, every mother was honored with a small statue of Isis in her room, surrounded by flowers. On special days, offerings were placed around it as a symbol of gratitude. The respect for motherhood extended from royal palaces to common households, making it clear that a mother&rsquo;s love was the greatest blessing of all.</p>
<p><strong>Aly Amin and the Modern Mother&rsquo;s Day</strong><br />Egyptian journalist Aly Amin played a crucial role in establishing Mother&rsquo;s Day on March 21st. The inspiration came from a widow who approached him in tears&mdash;after raising and educating her children alone, she was heartbroken when they grew up, got married, and forgot about her. Moved by her story, Amin wanted to create a day that would remind everyone to appreciate and honor their mothers.</p>
<p><strong>Motherhood: The Foundation of Life</strong><br />From ancient papyri to modern celebrations, the love for mothers has remained unchanged. A mother&rsquo;s love is the purest form of giving, and her blessings are precious.</p>

<p>Nutritionist Fayrouz Eid joined Nile FM's Brain Busters to talk about the connection between food, stress, and overall well-being&mdash;especially during Ramadan.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>How Stress Affects Your Body: More Than Just a Feeling</strong></span></p>
<p>Stress doesn&rsquo;t just mess with your mood&mdash;it affects your hormones, metabolism, digestion, and even sleep. According to Fayrouz, when stress takes over, your body holds onto weight, craves unhealthy food, and struggles to function properly.</p>
<p>&ldquo;<em>One of the worst things you can do is skip meals</em>,&rdquo; she says. &ldquo;Your body needs consistency. If you have three meals, don&rsquo;t skip one of them. Stress makes it harder to tune into what your body needs.&rdquo; So, what&rsquo;s the fix? Deep breaths, proper sleep, and enough food. Skipping meals leaves you hungrier later, affecting digestion and disrupting sleep. <em>&ldquo;A well-rested body is a well-functioning body. Prioritizing good sleep and balanced meals is key.&rdquo;</em></p>

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Is Food the Main Factor Affecting Weight?</strong></span></p>
<p>Many people think weight is just about calories in, and calories out, but Fayrouz challenges that idea.</p>
<p><em>&ldquo;There are five major factors that affect weigh</em>t,&rdquo; she explains. &ldquo;<em>It&rsquo;s not just about food&mdash;it&rsquo;s about your emotional, social, and environmental well-being. Everything is connected.</em>&rdquo;</p>
<p>When stress is high, your body clings to energy sources, making extreme dieting or calorie-counting backfire. &ldquo;Numbers matter, sure, but if you&rsquo;re stressed out, your body reacts differently. Weight loss isn&rsquo;t just about food&mdash;it&rsquo;s about how your whole body responds to your environment.&rdquo;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>What Would You Tell Your Younger Self?</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>If you could go back and give yourself one piece of advice about food and health, what would it be?</strong></p>
<p>Fayrouz keeps it simple: <em><strong>&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t restrict food unnecessar</strong>ily.&rdquo;</em></p>
<p><em>&ldquo;You&rsquo;re eating for your body now, not just for your age. Instead of extreme restriction, focus on balance. Calories matter, yes, but it&rsquo;s about what you eat, not just the numbers.&rdquo;</em></p>
<p>The Science Behind Hunger and Fullness</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>When it comes to eating habits, understanding how your body signals hunger and fullness is crucial. Two key hormones play a major role in this process:</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>1. Ghrelin &ndash; The Hunger Hormone</strong></p>
<p>Produced in the stomach, ghrelin signals your brain when it&rsquo;s time to eat. Its levels rise before meals, making you feel hungry, and decrease after eating. If you find yourself constantly craving food, ghrelin might be at play&mdash;especially if your eating schedule is inconsistent.</p>
<p><strong>2. Leptin &ndash; The Fullness Hormone</strong></p>
<p>Leptin, on the other hand, is released by fat cells and tells your brain when you&rsquo;re full. When leptin levels are high, you naturally eat less. However, chronic stress, poor sleep, and unhealthy eating habits can disrupt leptin sensitivity, making it harder to recognize when you&rsquo;ve had enough.</p>
<p>According to Fayrouz, maintaining balanced hormone levels isn&rsquo;t just about what you eat&mdash;it&rsquo;s also about lifestyle. by tuning into these natural cues, you can create a healthier relationship with food--not just during Ramadan, but all year round.</p>

<p>Dr. Hajar El Haddawy is the Director of the Digital Corporation Organization and a board member of the CEO Women Conference. In addition, El Haddawy has a background in intergovernmental relations and diplomacy. The focus of the 4th edition of the CEO Women Conference was "Women in Tech."</p>
<p>In an interview with Nile FM, she stated: "Empowering women is not a need, it's a necessity. It&rsquo;s not only about driving conferences, but also making an impact. This journey was all about impact&mdash;bringing women together from different verticals, industries, and countries. As a result, we have diversity not only in terms of topics but also in terms of people."</p>
<p>When asked about her role in the CEO Women Conference, Hajar replied, "The role, as you can imagine, is demanding! It's about building resilience in our member states from a digital economy perspective, but also ensuring prosperity for all. We drive projects to build resilience, empower GDP, and increase job creation in our member states. It&rsquo;s all about impact." She added that the goal is to build a community where all stakeholders, partners, and individuals can thrive together.</p>
<p>When asked whether women still face challenges or need to work twice as hard to achieve higher positions, Hajar responded, "Unfortunately, it's a fact that from one country to another, there are differences. There is a gap we need to work on, especially with the rise of AI." She continued, highlighting the importance of inclusivity in generative AI and the need for human-centered creation material. "Yes, there is a gap, and we need more women in the C-suite who have an impact on closing this gap."</p>
<p>Hajar also discussed the level of interest in the tech industry for women, saying, "It&rsquo;s very contradictory, and it depends on how we include women in corporations, enterprises, and how we guide them to build their own businesses. Of course, it&rsquo;s also important to include them in boards." She pointed out the significant gap: "The gap between universities and the tech industry is substantial. While 80% of university students are women, only 30% make it to board and C-level positions. We need to work on closing this gap and ensure women are empowered to reach the C-suite."</p>

<p>The launch of the CEO Women Club is something Hajar views as a necessity. "Together, as a community, we can empower and elevate each other to build a successful and impactful journey. Therefore, I&rsquo;m very glad and proud to be part of this powerhouse."</p>
<p>When asked about her definition of "Women Empowerment," Hajar said, "It starts with me. No one can empower you; you must empower yourself. What we need to do is share our experiences, provide more role models, and ensure more women are in decision-making positions. Confidence is the true empowerment of women."</p>
<p>She concluded, "Be confident and start your journey!"</p>

Dr. Hajar El Haddawy: Empowering Women and Building Resilience in Tech and Leadership

<p>Mr. Mostafa Hashem, Managing Partner of Focus Experiential Agency and Al-Manfaz Initiative, was NileFM's guest on "The Big Drive," and this is what he told us about &lsquo;Al-Manfaz&rsquo;:&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>What exactly is Al-Manfaz?</strong></p>
<p>Let me take you a couple of steps back and tell you the story and how it evolved to Al-Manfaz. So we're focused on experiential marketing. We're a marketing agency. We've been in business for nearly 10 years now. And we've realised we've got a lot of marketing expertise, and we've got some amazing clients that we work with. So we thought, like, well, we could also take this to the next level and do something good for society using our experience and the support of the clients we have. And that's where the whole idea of creating this gateway or hub to enable corporates to create a different experience with all their CSR activities comes in. So, you know, corporations, they do a lot of corporate social responsibility activities, and they do a lot of support in the society. So we thought, instead of just doing donations and that's it, why don't we create an experience around the whole CSR activities corporates do in Egypt? And so they create an experience and support the society. So that's how the whole concept works. And it officially went live in 2023. So, that's when Al-Manfaz was born, and the first activity during Ramadan went live.</p>
<p><strong>What is that experience?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>We are not an NGO ourselves. We're a for-profit organisation. But we do partner with two NGOs in Egypt who take care of the actual donation work. But we thought, let's create that different experience. We have created two events that we started in 2023. One is called Kolyum Hikaya, or Every Day a Story, and that happens in Ramadan. Every day during Ramadan we've got a story or an experience that one of our corporates shares with us. The second event is Back to School, so that happens towards September to support children in need when they're going back to school. And we call that Madrasta Al-Sa'adaa, or School of Happiness. So these are the two initiatives that we came up with to create those experiences.Ramadan EventThe way it works is that corporates sponsor the day and the experience, and the aim is to provide Ramadan boxes for those in need, and also we renovate kitchens during Ramadan. This year we're aiming for 100,000 boxes to be distributed across Egypt and renovating 100 kitchens all over the country. So we make sure that everyone gets a share of the boxes and also the kitchen renovations. And during back to school, we provide the children with supplies they need from a school bag, like the key things that you would need. We also provide a lunchbox with the actual supplies that they would need. So milk, drinks, and so on. We also participate in renovating schools. And I must say that this wouldn't have been possible without the support of the government. So I want to also take the opportunity to thank the Ministry of Social Solidarity and Her Excellency Dr. Maya Morsi, and also the Minister of Education, because you can't do social work without the support of those ministries. &nbsp;</p>
<p><br /><strong>What about the Ramadan event this year, and how does it differ from previous Ramadan events?</strong></p>
<p>We built this huge tent, which is actually a hub where it could hold up to 300 people at a time, and we built this belt similar to the ones you get at the airport where you see luggage moving on. That's where the boxes start to get loaded, and we have the corporates come in, and they contribute to the actual packing. But not only do they do the packing; there's a team-building activity involved, so they come in, they do a team-building activity, they do some exercise, a few icebreakers at the beginning, they do a few games, and so on, and then they actually start onto the packing activity. So is it teamwork?Absolutely, and the beauty is that you see everyone on board, from the CEOs and the executive team to all members of staff. Everyone is working hand in hand and participating together. So it becomes quite interesting, and it creates that memorable experience, and you're doing it for a good cause as well. So we're having fun. &nbsp;What's happening new this Ramadan? First of all, we're partnering with a team-building provider, Society of Play. They're going to be doing the team-building activities for the companies this year, so it's going to be a lot more exciting, with some new games involved. So that's one key thing, and it will hopefully create those better vibes and better experiences for those participating. We've also turned the location, the hub, into an Iftar place once the packing is all done. So, you can have your entire team enjoy Iftar in the same place right after you've done the packing activities and all the team-building exercises. So these are two key new things happening on the ground this year, but also the mission itself is getting much bigger. Last year, we aimed at 50,000 boxes.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>How many are there this year?</strong></p>
<p>This year, we're aiming at 100,000 boxes and 100 kitchens, so it's a much bigger challenge. We're aiming for more. There's a lot of packing, so you guys need to come over. What about the clients that participate with the Al-Manfaz Initiative?So obviously, without the clients, those corporates that take part every year, AlManfez would not exist. They are the ones that make the contribution. We have had clients with us since the first edition. Absolutely. They come in every year, participate every year, and they just don't get enough of it, which is absolutely. What&rsquo;s the beauty of Al-Manfaz? The beauty of Al-Manfaz versus just making a donation is actually participating in making it happen. The giving part, the donation itself, is fairly easy; like, if you get the means, you can make the donation, but it's taking the time from those executives and those corporates from the team members coming in, contributing, participating&mdash;that's what makes Al-Manfaz different than other activities.</p>
<p><strong>What about the new clients that participate with the Al-Manfaz Initiative?</strong></p>
<p>As I mentioned, there are quite a few clients, and some of them are new this year. Others have been with us since the first day of the first edition in 23. One other client I really want to give a shout-out for today is Maggie. Maggie has made a huge contribution this year as well. Whether it's to the boxes that are going to be distributed or the kitchen renovations as well. They've done a big chunk of the kitchen renovations this year, and they're also making an iftar on Mother's Day.How can other companies join you?We do have a few slots remaining. Most of the Ramadan calendar is now fully booked, but we still do have slots remaining for Ramadan. So if you're really keen on joining, you better do it this week or it's going to be gone. But also, if you've got no time to join us in Ramadan, you could also join us at Back to School in September, where we start the activities towards June time. So if you want to reach out, the number one source would be Instagram, almanfez.eg. You could reach us through there, or you could call us on our phone number, which is 011-500-24674. and we'd be more than happy to take a few more companies if we still have slots. Get on it. That's the message that we're giving you right now. Otherwise, you're going to miss that chance. It's going to be a good opportunity to be part of that. Something really, really special.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Who are the rest of the team?</strong></p>
<p>I definitely want to give a big shout-out and thank you to Karim. Karim's our CEO, and he's the one that started the whole journey. I also want to give a shout-out to Dina. Dina is the mastermind behind Al-Manfaz. Shout out to Noran, who actually brought me into this whole thing in the first place. And shout out to the amazing team we have in Focus and Almanfaz. Everyone's doing an amazing job. Everyone's working really hard. And now's the time when everyone's like, There's no sleep now. Everyone's waiting. Everyone's getting ready. So big shout out to that amazing team we have and the amazing spirit.</p>

Mr. Mostafa Hashem, Managing Partner Of Focus Experiential Agency And Al-Manfaz Initiative, Shares His Experience On Al-Manfaz

<p>Raouf El Sherif, the Egyptian content creator, was NileFM's guest on "Brain Busters", and this what he told us about &lsquo;jumping out of your comfort zone&rsquo;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>What makes jumping out of comfort zone hard for most people?</strong></span></p>
<p>It depends on the setting. People usually are afraid to do it when their friends are watching or when people they might know make fun of them. For example, when you start a TIKTOK account, people want to make silly videos. They will be worried about who will watch their videos, and one will &nbsp;feel embarrassed when they know someone is watching you. By the time you build confidence, you start to be brave.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Why do you think traveling, or going to an event scene is so intimidating for some people?</strong></span></p>
<p>People's biggest concern is their safety, so having someone there usually provides you with &nbsp;more safety, it makes you feel that &nbsp;if something would go wrong you will have someone you know there, &nbsp;especially if you go to foreign country, and you don&rsquo;t know anyone it does help comfort you, but at the same time just &nbsp;doing &nbsp;those new things alone is a great experience, it forces you to go out your comfort zone as long as you don&rsquo;t go into a bad accident God forbid , but it&rsquo;s a great experience, and there are good stories come out there.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>What advice would you give to someone who &nbsp;has never jumped out of their comfort zone?</strong></span></p>
<p>I would say practice being more social like for example just joke around with your local barista a bit more, &nbsp;talk to strangers a bit more, safely of course and take precautions Speak to people around you more often especially strangers, &nbsp;just be more smiley be just more friendly, easier to talk to because people will approach you &nbsp;and it is &nbsp;a lot &nbsp;easier when you are &nbsp;approached than approaching someone. Also when you do go abroad, especially if people don't speak the language of &nbsp;that country, it's really intimidating to just speak with strangers but if you're already used to that and &nbsp;if it's in your blood, &nbsp;it's a habit. &nbsp;You just need that social energy cause you miss it so you going be forced to speak to others &nbsp;and before you know you going to be introduced to most amazing people, and they going inviting you to places you never thought you will go.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Do you think social media helps people to feel brave enough to take risks, or does it make them feel more hesitant?</strong></span></p>
<p>Definitely, more hesitant,&nbsp; if you think about it people could be very mean online, especially when &nbsp;the strangers &nbsp;are hiding behind the keyboard, they &nbsp;are more likely to share hurtful opinions about you, once you put yourself out there to everyone to be seen it&rsquo;s very dangerous, it is a risky game, so you must be super confident, and also don&rsquo;t care about people&rsquo;s &nbsp;opinions. Also, don&rsquo;t care about the &nbsp;positive opinions, because if you really care about those once those are gone you going to feel empty inside, you don&rsquo;t need reassurance from strangers so you need to be confident in whatever you're posting and just know that the first video post online or the first thing that you ever do it's never going to be perfect and you can always get better, and better and same time it's going to take you months, and years to perfect it so don't stress yourself.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>What do you do to chase your dreams?</strong></span></p>
<p>I &nbsp;always tell people I do a lot of things for the younger version of me, there is something in life I don&rsquo;t want anymore, but I know that the younger me would be happy with, for example, I went to WrestleMania in the US, and I wasn&rsquo;t really a fan anymore but a younger version of me have loved to do.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>If you could give your younger self one piece of advice about taking risks, what would it be?</strong></span></p>
<p>I would say that you are never going to achieve your dreams if you just stay in your comfort zone, all the big dreams have some elements of risk in them, or otherwise, everyone would have done them, so if it&rsquo;s not risky, then it&rsquo;s not worth it. You got the &nbsp;leap of faith.</p>

<p>Liverpool FC has officially announced that team captain Virgil van Dijk has signed a new contract, extending his stay at Anfield beyond the 2024&ndash;25 season. This announcement comes just a week after Mohamed Salah, also known as the Egyptian King, renewed his own contract with the club.</p>
<p>Van Dijk expressed his excitement, stating:&nbsp;</p>
<p>"I feel really blessed and privileged to play for Liverpool FC. Anfield is home&mdash;this is the place for me and my family. I love the city, the club, the fans, and my teammates. Liverpool embodies everything I value. The people here make me feel like one of them. I&rsquo;m one of the Scousers now. When you experience those successes and see what it means to the people and everyone connected to Liverpool around the world, you just want to do it again and again. That&rsquo;s the motivation. It has always been Liverpool."</p>

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 9.0pt 0in;">We&rsquo;re almost a month away from an unexpected treat at the Cairo Opera House. On Wednesday,7th May,2026, businessman Samih Sawiris will surprise&nbsp;audiences not with a speech or an announcement--but with a piano performance. taking the stage alongside the Egyptian philharmonic orchestra, the special evening will be conducted by Swiss guest maestro Lena Lisa W&uuml;stend&ouml;rfer and music director Ahmed El-Saedi. It's not every day a mogul trades the spotlight of business for center stage under the chandeliers.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 9.0pt 0in;">In addition, all proceeds from the concert will be donated to the Red Crescent to support refugees from Gaza. The concert, conducted by Swiss guest Lena-Lisa W&uuml;stend&ouml;rfer and Egyptian maestro Ahmed El-Saedi, promises a blend of musical brilliance and humanitarian spirit. All proceeds from the event will be donated to the Red Crescent, in support of refugees from Gaza.</p>
<p>This isn&rsquo;t Sawiris' first time under the spotlight with a piano. In January 2023, he made his debut performance with the Swiss Orchestra to raise funds for the Sawiris Foundation&rsquo;s "Schools for Egypt" project. In a video from that year, he reflected on his bold decision to take up the piano, saying:</p>
<p>"I had no choice but to invent a new challenge for myself, and honestly, I found it. In one day and one night, I decided to learn to play the piano and play a concerto with an orchestra. Since then, I've been practicing for an hour or two every day for three years."</p>
<p>Samih continues to surprise us with his many talents; he is not only a successful businessman but also has a passion for music.</p>

<p>Following the announcement of his contract renewal with Liverpool, Mohamed Salah continues to amaze fans, breaking records set by Premier League greats Thierry Henry and Erling Haaland.</p>
<p>"Salah has now broken the record set by Arsenal legend Thierry Henry in the 2002/2003 season, who registered a total of 44 goal contributions&mdash;24 goals and 20 assists&mdash;a record later equaled by Manchester City&rsquo;s Erling Haaland in the 2022/2023 season with 36 goals and 8 assists. Salah surpassed both with 45 goal contributions, scoring 27 goals and providing 18 assists.</p>

<p>The all-time record for combined goals and assists in a Premier League season still stands at 47, shared by former Newcastle United striker Andy Cole (1993/1994) and Blackburn Rovers icon Alan Shearer (1994/1995).</p>
<p>With Salah in top form and the season still ongoing, fans are wondering: is he about to rewrite history once again?</p>

<p><strong>A Legend in Red</strong></p>
<p>Since arriving at Anfield in 2017, Mohamed Salah has written&nbsp;his name into Liverpool&rsquo;s history books as one of the greatest to ever wear the shirt. With his pace, clinical finishing, and unwavering passion, Salah has become a symbol of excellence and ambition for the Reds. Over eight remarkable seasons, he has lifted eight major trophies, including the Champions League and Premier League, and racked up a shocking 243 goals and 111 assists in 394 appearances. Now sitting third on Liverpool&rsquo;s all-time top scorers list, the Egyptian King isn't just a footballer, he's a legacy in motion, a true legend in red.</p>

<p>This surreal image of a runway suspended high above the city is actually AI-generated, but it raises a fascinating question: could sky-high catwalks be the norm in 10 years? With the rise of drone technology, immersive experiences, and gravity-defying restaurants (yes, we&rsquo;re looking at you, Dinner in the Sky), it&rsquo;s not that far-fetched.</p>
<p>The concept imagines a floating platform, complete with fashion editors, photographers, and front-row glitterati calmly seated mid-air while models strut their stuff on a narrow runway. The view? Just your average, jaw-dropping skyline.</p>
<p>Sure, it might be AI fantasy for now, but as technology and showmanship continue to collide, fashion shows are evolving into cinematic spectacles. First came digital collections, then the metaverse &mdash; and now? Maybe the sky&rsquo;s the limit... literally.</p>
<p><strong>Would you dare attend a fashion show floating hundreds of meters above the ground? Or will sky couture remain just a stylish dream? Either way, this concept has us hooked.</strong></p>

"Runway in the Sky?” This AI-Generated Fashion Show Might Just Be a Glimpse into the Future

<p>Bill Gates recently opened up about how much of his vast fortune his children will inherit after his death. During an appearance on the Figuring Out with Raj Shamani podcast, the Microsoft co-founder shared that his three children would receive only 1% of his wealth. Despite the small percentage, it will still amount to over a billion dollars.</p>
<p>&ldquo;My kids got a great upbringing and education, but they will receive less than 1 percent of the total wealth because I don&rsquo;t think it would be helpful to them,&rdquo; said Bill. He has three children&mdash;daughters Jennifer (28) and Phoebe (22), and son Rory (25)&mdash;with ex-wife Melinda French Gates.</p>
<p>Currently, Gates' net worth stands at $102.2 billion, according to Forbes' 2025 Billionaire List. His reasoning for not leaving them a larger inheritance? He doesn&rsquo;t want them to be burdened by his fortune. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m not expecting them to follow in my footsteps. I&rsquo;m not creating a dynasty,&rdquo; he added. "They should have their own chance to earn success without being overshadowed by my own."</p>
<p>While Bill Gates is committed to giving his children opportunities, he also explained his philosophy of wealth distribution. He&rsquo;s dedicated to giving the majority of his wealth to charity, particularly through the Gates Foundation. &ldquo;The highest purpose of my resources is to support the neediest, and I want my kids to understand that.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Gates, who has pledged to give away the majority of his fortune to address global social issues, has been donating approximately $9 billion a year. He also stated that he aims to no longer be one of the wealthiest individuals in the world within the next 20 years. &ldquo;I have more than enough money for my own consumption,&rdquo; Gates shared. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll be proud when I&rsquo;m no longer on the list.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Earlier, Gates had emphasized his commitment to giving "virtually all" of his wealth to the Gates Foundation, which he co-founded with Melinda in 2000. "I feel an obligation to use my resources in ways that will have the most significant impact on reducing suffering and improving lives."</p>

<p>Google is set to expand Google Wallet services, also known as Google Pay, in 16 countries including Egypt, in January 2025.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Google Wallet will expand Egypt's digital payment ecosystem, as it's&nbsp;a major force in the mobile payment sector, it enables users to safely keep their credit card details on their smartphones and make payments straight from them.</p>

<p>Alex Proyas, the director of the 2004 sci-fi film, "I, Robot" has claimed that Tesla and SpaceX CEO, Elon Musk is copying his designs from the movie.&nbsp;</p>
<p>These claims came after Musk unveiled&nbsp;Tesla's new Cybercab, which includes winged doors and no steering wheel or pedals, Musk also revealed a new look at&nbsp;Optimus robots.</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/7Dlo-VB0-HI" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>After Tesla's event, Proyas took to X to voice his concerns about the similarities between "I, Robot" and "Tesla" designs, saying, "Hey Elon, can I have my designs back please".&nbsp;</p>
<p>The production designer of "I, Robot", Patrick Tatopoulos, also reposted an image comparing the designs from the film and Tesla's designs, and he captioned it with&nbsp;"Maybe it is just me? Or should I feel honored that Elon found some inspiration in my I ROBOT designs? Probably my imagination running wild. Well either way it&rsquo;s fun to watch".&nbsp;</p>

<p>Google announced that starting from the 1st of May, 2025, all AdSense, AdSense for YouTube, AdMob, and Ad Manager payouts in Egypt will be made in Egyptian Pounds instead of&nbsp;US Dollars.&nbsp;</p>
<p>This change&nbsp;is part of Google's initiative to transition all payments worldwide into local currencies.</p>
<p>On the 1st of April, a new payment account will be created for all AdSense, Adsense for YouTube, AdMob, and Ad Manager users, and they may need to link a bank account that accepts local currency to it.&nbsp;</p>
<p>It's worth mentioning that the old payment account in US Dollars will be deactivated in April 2025, however, users will still be able to access it from their payment page to view past activities.</p>

<p>The creator of the well-known card game Cards Against Humanity is suing Elon Musk's SpaceX&nbsp;for $15m, over claims of damaging and trespassing on land owned by his company in Texas.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The card game creator filed a lawsuit in Texas court claiming that SpaceX has been using the company's land as its own for at least the last six months.&nbsp;</p>
<p>According to the lawsuit, SpaceX, which had already purchased other nearby lands, had placed building materials such as gravel, and other debris on the property without obtaining authorization.</p>
<p>it's worth mentioning that Cards Against Humanity purchased the land mentioned in the lawsuit back in 2017&nbsp;as part of a stunt to prevent President Donald Trump's border wall from being built in the area, and the company said that they purchased the land after 150,000 subscribers had each contributed $15 towards the Cards Against Humanity Saves America campaign.&nbsp;</p>
