Diving for Pearls

The Diving for Pearls Podcast will feature women in the UAE and across the globe who are breaking ground in their industry, while transforming the cultural landscape. We have chosen to make links to the pearl diving tradition which was interwoven into Emirati culture more than 1,000 years ago. Additionally, as 2019 was declared the "Year of Tolerance" in the UAE, we have chosen to engage in dialogue with female thought leaders, innovators and visionaries from a diverse range of backgrounds. The women whom we will spotlight on this podcast, are in many ways analogous to “pearl divers”…women who have taken calculated risks to uncover and harvest “pearls of wisdom”- insights that have led them to illuminate their pathway and the pathway of others. Harnessed with the knowledge of these insights, these women have persevered with unwavering determination, sheer brilliance and grit. We invite you to listen in, take the plunge, reflect on the poignant stories of courage and resilience, while delving deeper into your own journey of self-discovery and exploration. "Pearls lie not on the seashore. If thou desires one, thou must dive for it".–Anonymous

Aleksandra Krstic on Why It’s a Beautiful Time to be a Woman

November 17, 2020 • Gina P Nelson • Season 1 • Episode 1

The first episode of our Podcast series is with Dubai-based singer-songwriter, music composer and classical pianist Aleksanda Krstic at the beginning of lockdown in the UAE. Aleksandra discusses how she has been navigating quarantine as a musician, how she is working on staying present and grounded, while maintaining meaningful relationships with friends and family alike. Despite the current climate, Aleksandra firmly believes that there is no optimal time than now to be a woman. She is a champion of female empowerment and through the many collaborative partnerships that she has developed in the UAE, she is consistently redefining the role of female “artists”.

Aleksandra’s composition “Beautiful Spheres” is the theme song for the DFP podcast. Please follow Aleksandra Krstic on Instagram at AleksandraKrstic_official, on FB at Aleksandra Krstic and listen to her recent work, “Too Close to the Sun” and “White Screen “on Spotify and YouTube
