"Women like me" is a poetry and open mic night held to celebrate the work of Arab women who share a passion for arts, poetry, writing and music. It is a gathering where we will read to each other the words we have written or recite the work of our favourite poets.

When poetry in the Arab world is discussed, female Arab poets are often underrepresented. Through a short presentation we will highlight famous women poets from the Arab world. The presentation will be followed by a series of poetry readings by local poets and the night will end with an open mic and music.
