Anu Alex is many things—and she refuses to be reduced to just one. She is a mother of two boys. A wife deeply in love. A prominent name in Singapore’s modelling space. And a Singapore-based entrepreneur and director with hands-on experience building and leading customer-facing businesses—from running a restaurant to founding and scaling a curated gifting studio. Creativity is her instinct. Operational discipline is her backbone. Service is her language. Today, Anu leads her o

Some women don’t burst onto the scene. They arrive quietly —layer by layer, country by country, choice by choice—until one day the world knows their name before they enter the room. Gayathri Menon is one of those women. Her journey was never linear. It curved, paused, reshaped itself. Fashion and merchandising came first. Then came marriage, motherhood, migrations, visa limitations, and the kind of invisible labour that rarely gets applause. For years, Gayathri lived fully in

Solo travel for women is not about escape. It’s about arrival. Arrival into your own rhythm. Your own decisions. Your own silence. In a world that constantly asks women to be accommodating, agreeable, and accompanied, choosing to travel alone is a radical act of self-trust. This isn’t a guide to “finding yourself.” You were never lost. This is about remembering who you are when no one is watching. “Solo travel isn’t lonely. It’s the first time many women hear themselves clear

She Made the Company Permanent. Anita Gandhi did not inherit confidence. She inherited scrutiny. When her father passed the reins of a Dubai-based maritime company into her hands—a fleet of ageing oil tankers trading regionally—the industry didn’t see a successor. It saw a placeholder. A daughter. A name on paper until a “real” leader arrived. “They didn’t question whether I owned the company. They questioned whether I belonged in the room.” Maritime is not gentle with women.

Mariana Luz does not owe the world a softened version of her story. She was born into the margins of Recife, Brazil, where girls learn early that safety is conditional and opportunity is rationed. By her early twenties, she was trapped in a sex trade governed not by chaos, but by control—organised, strategic, and deeply violent in its silence. This was not choice. This was coercion dressed up as consent. “They told us we were free. But freedom doesn’t come with surveillance.”

Hong Kong teaches you early how to move fast. The city does not slow down for hesitation, nor does it forgive fragility easily. For Cherry Shaw, that lesson arrived sooner—and harsher—than it should have. She was twenty-one when she first learned that talent alone was not enough. Fresh out of a local fashion institute, Cherry entered the industry the way many young women do: hopeful, diligent, and quietly ambitious. She took an assistant role at a mid-sized apparel sourcing f

For centuries, monogamy has been sold to us as the gold standard of love. One person. For life. Anything less? Immature. Anything more? Dangerous. And heaven forbid you even think about wanting something outside this neat little box — you’d be branded disloyal, indecent, or morally bankrupt. But here’s the uncomfortable question that modern women are daring to ask (out loud): What if monogamy isn’t the ultimate destination, but just one option on an expansive, thrilling map o
