Inside this episode
Nicholla met with Jody Ballard is the Founder and driver behind the second Women's Heritage Walk 2016. She's on a mission to help us rediscover the heritage of the Emirati women and connect with the culture as well as finding our own inner brilliance. She says, 'culture is assimilated' and its true. We all become part of a bigger community when we connect and understand each other more. We are more emphathetic to people and their issues.
