50 Faces of JESS | shaheen shahani

26 December, 2025

Shaheen first joined JESS at age seven, graduating in 1986. Her own children have since walked the same grounds she once did. From handmade costumes for Topical Nights to singing under the stars at Christmas, Shaheen’s memories reflect the heart of JESS: a caring community that has grown with Dubai while holding on to its warmth.
