Great Article Emma!! If I may ask you this, since you grew up in the middle east, how easy/difficult was it for you to culturally adjust back in London. I'm guessing 'dubai' would still be 'home' to you. Correct?

Hey Skay! Thank you so much ☺ yes dubai is still where I call home! My parents are both still there too. It was relatively easy to adjust to but there are still things now i find strange in london because its so different to whats normal back home! ☺

I do have a close friend who's had a similar experience. Her parents are from a different part of India, so her language and culture are very different from the place she grew up. It was funny for a long time, because, people who assume so much based on how she looked but when she spoke a different language, their minds would just give up. 🤣😂
It's funny the way our minds interprets things in general 😎 But, thanks for sharing the article. Looking forward to more stuff from you. One tip I can give you is add some images (any random ones or gifs) between paragraphs, it improves readability and greatly increases engagement. Good luck!!

Great! While this article talks about how to write great LinkedIn articles, I think this one can be applied everywhere in general. I'll share the link in Twitter as well. Good luck once again!
