“I’m someone who’s dedicated to my own growth and the work I do on myself,” shares @madamearabia’s cover star actress May Calamawy (@calamawy). “I am wary sometimes of stepping into what a role model could be. I can see how, as I grow into my work, I will maybe make choices that aren’t going to be what people might be proud of. I want to be a role model for authenticity and someone knowing what they want.” May might be seen as a role model thanks to her impressive work in the Marvel series Moon Knight or the critically acclaimed drama-comedy series Ramy, but it is her focus to stay true to herself, to follow her calling to be an actor when those around her tried to dissuade her and to challenge the way the western world sees Arab women, that makes her a true role model for modern women.
