Ahlam Saeeda is shaping up to be a mosalsal about karma: Yousra’s character in the TV show is harsh and unforgiving, treating everyone around her with a bit of snobbiness. While she likes to act like she’s got everything together, the audience catches glimpses of cracks in the facade when she doesn’t have enough money to pay for an item from an auction or when she has an accident and no one is there to help her. However, things change when she joins a support group for insomnia, where several women share what (literally) keeps them up at night. It’s there that she meets people who are willing to be her friend, played by Ghada Adel, Mai Kassab, and Shaimaa Seif. Together, the four very different women band together to solve their individual problems and meet a host of challenges along the way as their past comes back to haunt them. You can watch Ahlam Saeeda on Shahid or WatchIt.

The Green Grocer is a realistic guide on how to create a sustainable business: Written by one of the UK's leading corporate activists, Richard Walker, the book looks at climate activism through the lens of supply chain disruptions and the post-covid world. Walker walks readers through ways to incorporate eco-friendly business practices using case studies from businesses and governments, showing what works and what doesn’t and why. The book comes at a time where businesses worldwide are being urged to embrace their corporate social responsibility while management struggles to make that move while still pushing up their bottom line. However, Walker managed to do both, with his GBP 3 bn supermarket chain in Iceland embracing sustainable initiatives for years now and still seeing growth.
