A fashion designer, and, you know,

A great mother on the planet,

A happy ending. [laughing]

A hint for a baby shower. I thought

A hundred percent, she cooked all of this stuff.

A lot of men around the world always think that

A lot of orders coming.

A lot of our repeat customers come every two years,

A lot of people, they judge me, but then the funny part is,

A majority, like 80% of the country, is expats.

A man should not cry,

A productive conversation about it tonight.

A successful woman is a threat, and then with a child,

A tough girl to me. Let's do this.

All the things that I'm saying are the good things.

All the, you know, drama.

All these children, I can't believe Sergio

Along with, like, an Arabic, Dubai touch.

Although I have been so unlucky in that department,

Always team up with each other.

Am I apprehensive?

Amazing.

And I came here in 2005 as a banker.

And I couldn't find anything that was, like,

And I did not know it had alcohol,

And I didn't know there was modeling or anything to do

And I drank it. What a disaster.

And I feel angry to see that any child

And I feel like my vagina is 12. So...

And I feel like that's the part I live in the most.

And I feel like this is gonna be my baby.

And I feel like we have a deep rooted connection

And I feel really bad because

And I felt as though you iced me a little bit.

And I felt like, as a friend, you could have told me.

And I had to talk to the school to talk to them about it.

And I have been living in Dubai for almost 12 years.

And I have not been invited,

And I have to throw a fabulous hen party,

And I I could understand her feelings.

And I just invested in tech.

And I told Chris and Taj, I'm like,

And I told the guy, "Give me my money verbatim."

And I try with Maktoum.

And I want everyone to just give me one thing

And I want everyone to just give me one thing

And I want the big size. The big size?

And I was in love.

And I was like, I'm not gonna stay here.

And I was packing my bags. I was gonna go with him.

And I would sit with my grandmother,

And I'm building a house here.

And I'm building a room for them.

And I'm gonna do it.

And I'm gonna own my comment that I made.

And I'm important. I know you're just jealous.

And I'm like, "Dude, live your best life."

And I'm like, "I believe in love,

And I'm like, no. She said

And I'm not gonna sit with my parents both nights

And I'm not happy. I didn't ruin it.

And I'm sort of, like, I think I'm above them and whatever else.

And I'm trying to get this stuff done.

And I'm very honored to have been asked

And I've failed in love, when I look at

And I've had to spend

And I've manifested my best life.

And I've never been anything but a friend for her.

And I've opened up to you so much about myself.

And I've since Okay, but why would you

And if he can't afford to give them all equal,

And if she gives a straight line,

And if she gives zig zag zig zag,

And in this new year, everything has changed.

And it ended even more interesting.

And it has been this way for a while.

And it has to be right. Okay.

And it just needs to be a huge success.

And it just took me to a bad place.

And it kind of ruins everybody's vibe,

And it made me who I am today because I appreciate everything.

And it shaped me to being a businesswoman.

And it shouldn't be that kind of crying, you know?

And it was it was

And it was just like love at first sight.

And it was, like, a very toxic relationship.

And it's amazing. Dubai is safe,

And it's as simple as that,

And it's everywhere.

And it's going to induce more collagen

And it's just a lot of things happening.

And it's like a family reunion.

And it's something that makes me happy,

And it's the hardest thing in the

And just talk it out. Listen, girl,

And leave him there.

And leave you with all this.

And let me tell you, my family, they are so Arabs.

And luckily, somebody found her

And make sure that you're always okay.

And make them feel bad? I had not peed.

And my parents on the engagement night.

And my son, 16 years,

And my son. Oh, very nice.

And not be, like, around any toxicity

And not liked or accepted or...

And now I will definitely make better choices

And now I'm in it, again. Yeah.

And now that I'm so grown, I miss them so much.

And on that, period and mother ing dot.

And people who have went through trauma,

And Pinky is definitely Chanel Ayan.

And pooing and peeing. Ayan,

And religious reasons.

And Sara is coming. You get to meet Sara.

And scrub my belly or something.

And see who she is,

And Sergio didn't want to have a stag do.

And she doesn't care

And she goes, "Because you're with them."

And she hasn't seen her family for a while,

And she is the model of all models in this region.

And she maneuvers Chanel's body.

And she said, "You've had enough."

And she wants you to do it? Well, she said she didn't.

And she's also very boring.

And she's like, "Ayan, did you get an invite

And she's like, "I don't know."

And so I've decided to create this play area,

And so many businesspeople. It is. It is.

And so, all of these things meant

And some snacks. Oh, yeah, let's do it.

And strippers and things like that,

And tell 'em I'll be there shortly, please.

And Thanksgiving is one of my favorites.

And that's Dubai.

And that's it.

And that's something that you don't buy.

And the baby comes out.

And the boys got a huge terrace,

And the judgment of divorce

And the most amazing thing, is that we all live in harmony.

And the other one on the other side.

And the other thing, too, I didn't tell you,

And the rest is history. We met ten years ago,

And then being like, "(BLEEP) you, bitch."

And then ended up getting a divorce

And then from his new wife, is 11,

And then he can celebrate with his friends, too, another day.

And then he wanted to get to know me,

And then her wig trails long after her.

And then if you could just bring me a crudité.

And then later on, my mom tells Chris,

And then Lesa was like, "Well, Stanbury needs to apologize."

And then me and Phaedra connected.

And then moved to Sharjah, and then I reside in Dubai.

And then next thing I know

And then Nina...

And then other people think that she's a raging bitch,

And then our friendship evolved.

And then our weekend home in DUMAC Hills.

And then the rest is just, like, my stepbrothers.

And then there's a computer room there,

And then there's a straight line

And then this is your main staircase.

And then we said, what if you flew in

And then we'll lock it in.

And then we've also got plenty of floor space.

And then when you called me that day in the morning,

And then you go and decide to cheat and ruin our home.

And then you've got Aaron and Zac's rooms.

And then, I was approached by a guy saying,

And then, there's Brooks.

And there goes the bitch.

And they can make us some lemonade out of love.

And they just wanna know, why is she different.

And they teach you, like, pole fitness,

And they wanna stay there, you know.

And they're looking gorgeous.

And things like that, honestly, was really good.

And this room is so special.

And tied to some pole naked.

And to be honest, some of the things that she said

And to be hurt and traumatized,

And to make you feel comfortable.

And to pass them to the children,

And told me she's only inviting the most important people."

And told you that she's only inviting important people

And tonight only proved not just to everybody else

And we are very good friends with my cousin,

And we can go right away.

And we have a lot of gold diggers, too.

And we need two jugs.

And we never see each other?

And we ran in the same circles, but, like, we never talked."

And we spent so much time together,

And we tried to get to the bottom of how

And we would go to Corpus Christi,

And we would watch the soap opera called

And we're actually flying in some performers from L.A.,

And we're gonna have, like, a nice little dinner there.

And we're still together happily today.

And we've got a big wedding to plan in a month,

And when I yell at them, and I'm saying those words,

And when I'm dead,

And when it's bad, it's when she's squealing.

And when it's good, it's when she's quiet,

And when she said that, I knew exactly the teabag

And when Stanbury was trying to be friends with me,

And when we gather, it's like true Lebanese style.

And where is your Ski Dubai outfit?

And you don't even know anything about me.

And you get it fixed.

And you guys are all grumpy.

And you have met, I'm sure, 45 year old men,

And you hold the rice like this.

And you invite my family to your house,

And you keep it interesting.

And you know me. I cannot pretend.

And you more are likely to get it, right?

And you said to me Wait.

And you said to me that I wasn't invited

And you said to me this one called you

And you said, "Oh, have you been invited by Stanbury,

And you wanna play hard,

And you're behaving.

And you've got one child, who is like, uh, baggage.

And, also, like, I've healed from my own traumas,

And, girl, him and her,

And, like, we'll go together."

And, um, the rest is history.

And, you know, I'm sure we'll have a conversation

And, you know, we're all about, you know, smelling good.

Any coins, okay? Whatever.

Any woman who has made a life in a country

Anything about me.

Anything about me. I don't want to know you.

Anyway, I'm really excited.

Anywhere else in the world.

Are are my children.

Are friends sometimes.

Are not available or illegal.

Are notes.

Are notes.

Are notes.

Are notes.

Are they okay?

Are you any good at opening bottles,

Are you excited? I'm very excited.

Are you going to ski today?

Are you gonna find an indoor ski slope?

Are you mine for life?

Aren't you? Gotta love it.

Around her husband.

Around the same time. [laughing]

As a black woman in Dubai, that's beyond.

As a Black woman, I feel it's so important

As an Arab woman.

As an Arab woman. No.

As an ex pat, your friends do become your family

As I told you, I got you a spot in the main phase two.

As in, like, you were determined.

As it is anywhere else in the world.

As long as it's not pink.

As much as, you know, for instance, Christmas

As Stanbury's bachelorette.

As well as my kids and my husband.

As well.

As were used originally. Yeah.

Ask their first wife for permission.

At 8 years old, 9 years old,

At a bachelorette. Cheers to that.

At some time.

At that dinner, when somebody kept on saying,

At this stage in life.

At, like, five, six years old.

Away from home.

Aww, he loves you more.

Aww, hon, it's okay.

Aww, they don't have our bacon.

Ayan and Stanbury made up.

Ayan gets up.

Ayan is a pro at wearing these, by the way.

Ayan, Bijan and Ghazaleh.

Baba is doing corn. You love corn.

Baby, dinnertime. Come.

Baby, I'm doing tacos, healthy tacos.

Baby's room? Baby's room.

Back off of her forehead.

Bakhoor is like sage, but it's different.

Based on the conversation you and I had

Be a divorcee and a single mom,

Beautiful. I love it. This hair is everything.

Because everything I do, is for them.

Because he is clueless.

Because he wanted me to sit with his parents

Because his education system is American.

Because his sister is really sick. I do remember.

Because I Yeah, me too.

Because I don't know if it works.

Because I feel like she's gonna be manipulative.

Because I hate being in the middle.

Because I have other businesses

Because I never had such kind of life.

Because I put the bukhoor on in rooms,

Because I was like you were someone

Because I wasn't important.

Because I will do anything to be loved.

Because I work so hard to be who I am.

Because I'm a ing great dancer.

Because I'm a cool mother that understands their emotion.

Because I'm marrying a Catholic boy.

Because I'm the bigger person.

Because I've never seen her behave that way.

Because in our culture divorce is not okay,

Because it's more of an American holiday,

Because it's sweet and like I got nothing.

Because it's the one time of the year that

Because my eyes are gonna be watching her.

Because no matter who comes in,

Because of me.

Because of me.

Because of my Caribbean roots.

Because Sergio would never go back to you if I was.

Because she came for me really strong,

Because she has no idea, once you heal, how life changes.

Because she is the nicest person.

Because she just wants me to be happy, as do I her.

Because she supports you, you should support her.

Because she's an influencer.

Because somehow a night that isn't about Ayan

Because there was, like, a panther on the loose

Because there's so much to do.

Because there's very few of us that are really successful

Because these are the people that you lean on

Because they really, really enjoy his company.

Because this is a big moment for you.

Because this is what he does for a living.

Because this is where the money is,

Because we attended, and it was fun.

Because we didn't speak the language,

Because we have to start seeing them.

Because when people change and they evolve,

Because you could get AIDS." [laughing]

Because you would've lost your sh on her.

Because you're not taught any of these things.

Because you're reasonable.

Because, honestly, every time we met,

Because, honey, I'm the star in this city.

Because, you know, I've had fun with Lesa in the past.

Become accustomed to a certain lifestyle,

Becomes about Ayan.

Before everybody gets here. Yes.

Before the wedding.

Before we can actually get a piece of the clothing?

Before you sat down?

Being a single mom in Dubai is slowly being accepted,

Being back into, like, full school mode,

Being mean to you.

Being so reserved that she's judgey wudgey bear.

Besides my kids making him or her a pet?

Between her and the other two.

Between my culture and my religion

Between my culture and my religion,

Between Sergio and Caroline,

Between Sharjah and Dubai.

Bijan and his wife did most of the planning.

Bijan is basically his second wife.

Bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch.

Boarding school has shaped me in many ways.

Botox, fillers.

Boys, mommy is going to her fashion show.

Boys!

Bring him out, bring him out. Thank God we were out

Brooks loves the ing pleasure out of

Brooks need refund,

But a man is a human being with emotions.

But adding a goat to all this mix,

But anyways, I love you guys.

But at the same time,

But big brother, in a way, too,

But daddy's work is?

But forgiving my father is the hardest thing I could do.

But get to know each other." And I was like

But how did it make you feel?

But I actually feel like Caroline is a different person.

But I also see what he's trying to say.

But I am that girl who proves people wrong.

But I am the most important.

But I certainly don't want anybody picking on you.

But I definitely didn't call anyone

But I didn't introduce you to Caroline.

But I didn't say that Caroline said it.

But I grew up in Austin, Texas,

But I guarantee you I'm not the one,

But I hate small talk.

But I have to keep doing it because I love our culture.

But I just needed two black models.

But I know you weren't expecting me."

But I need to know those things.

But I really loved Chris.

But I see that little rebel in her.

But I still, when I sit with my my mom and dad,

But I swear to God, ev everything has class,

But I think they tend to gravitate a little bit more

But I think this kind of thinking

But I wanna ask Brooks a question.

But I wanna have the winter vibe.

But I want I love I love a good

But I was so shy.

But I was telling Munaf this morning,

But I will not deny we speak mostly English,

But I would also like to know Sara.

But I would really cry.

But I'll kiss you. Yes, but I'll kiss you.

But I'm all right, though.

But I'm getting better with English.

But I'm just not in the mood just sort of for

But I'm not staying in no marriage

But I'm sure it's gonna be amazing.

But I've failed so many times miserably.

But I've never seen anything like this,

But if a bitch ever told me to...

But if I can't have the baby, Sergio won't stay. Fact.

But in Dubai, everything is one phone call away,

But it does not mean that you play with me,

But it does not.

But it does still pain me

But it looks so big in the inside.

But it will delay you by six months.

But it's also disrespectful.

But it's not productive at all.

But it's the end of the world to me

But it's very important for me to celebrate Thanksgiving

But it's, like, for Europe and America.

But last time you saw her...

But let's not do it to each other like that

But living here in Dubai, most of those things

But my friends are just as important.

But my kid is climbing out of the

But my son was my determination,

But nothing is more savage than me.

But nothing is more savage than me.

But nothing is more savage than me.

But nothing is more savage than me.

But nothing is more savage than me.

But now she loves my husband, loves Taj,

But Sergio has literally jumped through hoops

But she came in guns blazing." Oh, please!

But she didn't make it look like that.

But she's not gonna add to mine.

But since I moved here and changed my life,

But some people will take it as offense.

But stay you.

But that woman can fit in anywhere.

But that's that's beautiful.

But that's only because they've experienced those

But the next day, I showed you my boobs.

But the purpose of it is to make the house smell good,

But the three of us do very well together.

But the venue where I'm having it

But then I shut down all my fashion business,

But then my shoulder tattoo is a problem.

But then, after that but I learned,

But they do learn a bit of Arabic in their school.

But this doesn't remove any bad energy. FYI.

But this is a city that you have to speak up.

But this is over 20 years ago.

But to myself most importantly that,

But wasn't really... [laughing]

But we can make something sweet out of it,

But we do not cook there at all. Okay.

But we gather here most of the time.

But we have a very special relationship

But we haven't done, like, a solo night.

But we were never close until Shawn was like,

But we're in Dubai, girl.

But we've exceeded that.

But what happens back there is a war.

But what I don't understand, is why you wouldn't kiss me

But what they care about and fear for me,

But what's my most important thing

But when it's bad, it's like, I need space.

But when you grow up, you're gonna miss him.

But whoever comes here, don't try to steal my stardom,

But yeah, so how have you been?

But you didn't call me.

But you're also gonna meet one of my oldest friends, Nour.

But, hey, let's upgrade you.

But, in Jamaica, we say love my belly.

But, like, I gave her the chance.

But, you know, I saw you, and I went that girl,

But... But why did you bring it?

Buying a house in Dubai is a whole 'nother ballgame.

By my wife's team to do the introduction,

By, you know, making the effort.

Bye bye, girl, bye.

Bye bye. Bye bye.

Came to introduce me to you.

Can I get somebody to touch up their faces?

Can I hold her? Yeah.

Can talk about, that we all can discuss.

Can we move on and talk about something I'm part of?

Can we show our knees? Can we show our arms?

Can we start? Okay, she's starting.

Can you focus?

Can you not see? We're moving.

Can you open the door for me?

Can you please Max and Sebi.

Can you wish mommy good luck?

Can't live with her. Can't live without her.

Caroline is my best friend. Aww, so nice.
