Mixmag and W Hotels present #WhatSheSaid: Tala Samman

What She Said is a series of conversations celebrating individuality, inclusivity and honesty

Mixmag has joined forces with our favourite hotel brand, W Hotels, to create a short series of interviews with some incredible global talent from the world of music and fashion. What She Said by W Hotels is a series of conversations celebrating individuality, inclusivity and honesty; tackling the issues of today – some you are already talking about / some you never think enough about, for women around the world to amplify their voice, be heard and connect with each other.

We've teamed up with Andreea Magdalina, founder of SheSaid.So to conduct two interviews with creative talent from around the world.

While Andreea is at W Mexico City, our first interviewee is Tala Samman, Syrian DJ and fashion blogger, now based in the UAE. She joins the interview from the W Dubai - The Palm.

Andreea and Tala discuss everything from performative action, to the challenges of transitioning and juggling her areas of focus from fashion blogging to full-time DJing, and to the importance of mentorship and takeaways from 2020.
