Chanel Ayan – billed as Dubai’s first black supermodel, runs her own talent agency and juggles a high-profile professional life with motherhood.

Caroline Brooks is the Boston-born daughter of two Honduran parents and is known in the Dubai real estate industry.

Lesa Milan is a former Miss Jamaica winner, and as well as being a wife and mother of three, works in Dubai as a fashion designer.
