The Ismaili Women’s Committee chose the Concorde Hotel to hold a discussion on 11th March at which they’d invited several of Nairobi’s noted Asian women personalities. A fitting audience to celebrate International Women’s Day. After opening addresses by the sponsors, the members of the Ismaili Women’s Committee circulated among their guests, giving each a notebook and pen. The committee members include Sairah Rajan Juttla, Naseem Chatur, Saira Kanji, Shahenaz Karmali, Nayla Nanji, Zahra Bhatia, Munira Rahemntulla, Jasbir Jesani, and Aleema Noormohamed, who was the event’s emcee. Scribbling frantically away each guest enumerated the reasons, ‘I am remarkable because…’ Seven minutes later when some of the ladies read out their reasons, it was quite apparent why women are remarkable in our society. Then followed an Emotional Feeling Technique (EFT) exercise. Farzana Khubchandani showing the guests with their arms crossed above their chests to tap their fingertips to give themselves inspiration. Aliza Rajan’s lineup of little children strutting the catwalk in a fashion show tickled the audience pink. After a lunch break, Yasmin Chandani, the CEO of inSupply Health gave her inspiring presentation. A poem recitation ‘Phenomenally Me’ by Sapphira Ebrahim and Roshan was enthusiastically received. It was followed by tokens of appreciation to the committee members and those who’d contributed to the day’s proceedings. The curtain came down with closing remarks by the convenor of the Ismaili Women’s Committee, Sairah Rajan Juttla.
