The life dynamic we are currently inserted in is sometimes hard to maintain in a healthy
manner. As we navigate through the complexities of life, the need for genuine conversations and
reliable resources becomes increasingly apparent. Let’s Talk DXB emerges as a timely
response to this collective yearning, providing a place where individuals in Dubai can find
authentic, educational, and diverse content to navigate life’s intricacies with resilience and
knowledge.
Let’s Talk DXB was born from the personal journey of its visionary founder, Sharon Missah,
who amidst the challenges of a busy corporate job, a solo journey through single
motherhood, and the complexities of divorce, recognized the profound need for open and
knowledgeable conversations amongst the Dubai community.
Let’s Talk started as a podcast with Sharon sharing her story to help others navigate through
their own personal challenges. It has now evolved into a valuable communications platform
that gives free knowledge-based advice that may not be easily accessible to many. It’s an
open dialogue on topics not commonly discussed publicly and constructively, profiling a
range of professionals and businesses, and having as its main focus the Dubai community.
In just six months since its inception, Let’s Talk DXB has become a digital oasis, amassing
over half a million views across all channels, transcending geographical boundaries and
demonstrating the universal hunger for constructive and open dialogue on real-life
challenges and diverse perspectives.
Even though the increasing success of Let’s Talk DXB in a very short time is an amazing
accomplishment, it does not come as a major surprise if we consider the journey, experience
and vision of the mind behind Let’s Talk DXB. Sharon has more than 14 years of
communications and media experience and she uses her expertise in the field to expand the
brand worldwide and make it more accessible to everybody, not limiting only to the Dubai
community, as she acknowledges the fact that the issues addressed on Let’s Talk DXB,
such as mental health, employment law and job loss, the emotional implications and
legalities of getting divorced, race and unconscious bias, financial difficulties, child
physiology and single parenting, male mental health and navigating depression are all
universal challenges.
Sharon has two main missions in mind. Firstly, she is determined to bring more diversity to
the media industry, challenging the status quo and ensuring that underrepresented voices
have a platform to be heard. Secondly, she is committed to fostering honest conversations
on a wide range of educational and relevant topics, creating a space where the Dubai
community can come together to learn, share, and assist one another.
The work Sharon is doing through Let’s Talk DXB provides a platform for non-judgemental
conversations about important topics, and fosters a sense of community in the diverse
landscape of Dubai. In a city often associated with glitz and glamour, Let’s Talk DXB stands
as a beacon for authenticity and support, making a profound impact in just a few months
since its inception. As the communications platform continues to break barriers and address
real-life issues, it exemplifies the transformative power of knowledge, empathy, and
community in the dynamic heart of Dubai.
