This post is dedicated to every bloggerette out there.. Inspiring young ladies & women whom passion for life with all its aspects just lifts my spirits up!

Jessyz [ Chocolate Mints in a Jar ], a dedicated young mom who share her experiences with her readers. An articulate woman who enjoys reading books as well as browsing the web for interesting topics and blogs with her sense of humor sometimes ;p and of course, one can’t forget the Friday Fives’ :)

Jessy sent me an email about a blog called Kolena Laila- visit [ HERE ] and from her email I quote:

The idea of Kolena Laila was launched in 2006 from the imagination of an Egyptian blogger called “Lasto Adry”. Lots of other bloggers in Arab countries shared the passion and “Kolena Laila” was born.

The main idea behind the campaign is to invite Arab bloggers to express their opinions, interpretations and observations relating to the Arab woman’s situation openly and without restraint. Under the increasing impact of the new media, represented by blogs and social media on our society we believe that we can make a difference. Even the larger main stream media outlets like Al-Jazeera TV, the BBC, “Al-Masry Al-Youm” and “El-Dostour” newspapers, showed interest in our efforts.

With this campaign we aspire to contribute to enriching the dialogue of our Arab social life and the successes or failures that are entwined with it. We would like to emphasize that the idea is not an endorsement of any particular culture or values; but an appeal to assess, improve and critique our everyday behavior with the true yearning for change. We invite you to participate with us whether you believe that our societies are too conservative and patriarchal, giving preference to men and unbecoming to women and their freedom, OR you believe that our societies are too open and liberal, and that women have been given their sufficient share of rights.

Jessy asks you women out there to contribute to this campaign by sending in your stories of challenge, change and endeavor that “Laila” went through as well as success stories in your countries. Basically, it’s your chance to express your feelings and ideas without restrictions and any media medium is permitted whether written, audio or a video one. For more information, drop an email or your contribution at yasmin[at]kolenalaila.com 

Check Kolena Laila and I hope to see contributions from you gals there :)
