TEDx LUBM
Speaking & Workshops
Stella speaks on what actually happens when Africans try to build in Dubai.
No motivational platitudes. Real frameworks, real failures, real routes through the system, from someone who navigated it herself and has since guided 50+ others through it.
What Stella Speaks On
Current speaking topics
From Survival Thinking to Legacy Building
Why African entrepreneurs hold themselves back from the very opportunities they moved countries to access, and how to shift that mindset permanently.
The Real Cost of Going It Alone in the UAE
What no freezone agent will tell you about where the fines and delays actually come from.
Dubai Is Not Just for the Already-Wealthy
The practical, accessible entry points most African entrepreneurs do not know exist.
From Corporate Employment to Business Ownership in Dubai
The mindset shift, the practical steps, and the financial realities.
Navigating the UAE as an African Passport Holder
The additional complexity, why it exists, and exactly how to move through it without costly mistakes.
