Flip through the latest issue of Gulf Weekly.
Bahraini businesswoman Huda Janahi's name is synonymous with success and fame.
The stay-at-home mother's meteoric rise to an award-winning businesswoman who was ranked 46th by Forbes magazine in their list of 50 most powerful Arab women was featured in GulfWeekly last year.
Now in a weekly programme on CNBC Arabiya, Mrs Janahi once again took centrestage and discussed her success story.
The weekly Arabic show, Ma'ahonna ('women in business' in English), included a documentary, interview and insight and focused on Mrs Janahi's career and highlighted the points of her success and uniqueness.
"Although this was not the first time I was on television, it was the longest and most detailed programme - 35 minutes - on me and my success.
"I was very proud to represent my country and happy that my success projected my country in a favourable light. I received countless calls from friends and family saying that I set an inspiring example for many Arab women," said Mrs Janahi on her experience at being featured by the world's first and only 24-hour Arabic language financial and business information channel.
"GCC is home to an increasing number of successful female entrepreneurs. We want to showcase the achievements of these amazing women and provide inspiration for others in the region," said Steven Hall, CEO of CNBC Arabiya.
Also addressed in the series are the challenges faced by Gulf women in the field of business and the different ways these women overcame these problems.
Mrs Janahi started her business Global Cargo and Traveller Services (GCTS) seven years ago with a start-up capital of BD1,000 from a one person office in a small rented space in Muharraq.
She is now managing assets worth BD1 million which includes GCTS only. Her other two enterprises are Global Courier Services WLL and Regional Trading Establishments which includes advertising and a shop in Al A'ali Mall selling original F1 grand prix products.
She signed a merger worth BD1.15 million ($3 million) with the Kuwaiti cargo company, Global Logistic Company, last year which has enabled GCTS to spread its wings regionally. She has two projects in the pipeline and her latest addition to her list of businesses is a shop of quick services, Last Minute, which opened last month at City Centre.
Mrs Janahi has won many accolades, both local and regional, in her journey to success. She is also the model for a success story by a UN entrepreneur programme in the Arab world.
An active participant at various regional conferences, Mrs Janahi does not hesitate to vocalise her success story to empower women to enter into the business arena and into a man's world.
The secret of her success she says is her husband Fawzi Tolefat's unfailing support, her father's insistence, since Ms Janahi was a teenager, for his daughter to enter the workforce which inevitably became ingrained in her and her thirst for knowledge, self-development and her ambition to reach the top.
