Dear Sail Readers,
We proudly present to you this month our 20th issue of Sail eMagazine. It is a great journey we have crossed and we still have much more to offer in the coming issues.
This issue we are joined with a new member, Alanoud AlMadhi, she joins us with her column “Beyond Inspiration” in which she shares her personal experiences, struggles, and aha moments that she hopes can spark a flame within the reader to act upon their desires to reaching their full potential and adding value to their societies.
Also, Rooda AlNeama, who is one of our very first columnists on Sail, is now back to her first column “Blunders of a Wannabe Entrepreneur” in which she reflects on her journey with her startup from her life experiences.
This issue covers different topics across our community. We’ve got a eulogy to Steve Jobs, ecology & recycling, education, creativity, and much more! Below is a sneak look into what our team contributed with for this month:
