A masterclass on becoming a female icon in the Arab world - Meet Dania Akeel

"While our destiny is written, our fate is equally shaped by our decisions" - Dania Akeel 

Having obtained a B.A. in "Modern History and Politics" in addition to an MA. in "International Business" at Hult International Business School, academia has played a pivotal role in my life. 

I am a business consultant, author, and presenter with a deeply rooted passion for motorsport, having become: 

- First Saudi female to hold a Motorcycle Circuit Racing License issued by the Saudi Automobile & 
 Motorcycle Federation 

- First Saudi female to participate in an FIA World Cup Rally 

Despite receiving the "Rookie of the Year '' award during my debut year as a racer at the Ducati Cup, part of the UAE National Sportsbike Superseries 2019/2020, I could not complete the entire season. I had an accident on the track, which put me on the road to recovery and gave me time to reflect. 

With this time, I decided to write down my findings and share them with others. As a result, they have been published into a book entitled "Freefall" at a publishing house in Saudi Arabia (Kaaph). The book recounts my life experiences in the form of short stories. 

After my recovery, I entered the rally racing world, where I became the first Saudi female to participate in an International Rally Competition. 

I completed two rounds of the FIA Cross-Country Bajas World Cup, finishing 1st in the T3 Category and 8th overall in both races. 

If you want to come aboard as a sponsor or hire me as a speaker/presenter for your next event, please reach out.
