Why Facebook groups are becoming the best part of Social Media!

For a while now, several groups have appeared on Facebook and Instagram, these groups are closed and private ones that are exclusive for girls, most popular ones are Miss Basket, Her Diary, The Bridal Club, The Hair Addict and more.

People from the outside might look at these groups from a shallow perspective, and view them as a waste of time or even a strange way of communication.

Well, truth is, it is. It really is strange for girls to be sharing stories, pictures, and basically bits and pieces of their lives on a group filled with strangers. But let’s look at it from a wider perspective, and that is a group of girls trusting one another to share such intimate parts of their lives, instead of sharing it with a close person, and that’s says a lot.

The following are reasons why Facebook groups might just be the new best thing:

1. Girls empowering girls.

It’s crucial for women to learn how to support and empower one another, it’s about helping each other grow and reach the top, and that’s what these girl value and stand for. They’re supportive, they’re encouraging, they speak the truth and that’s why their opinions are acknowledged and believed. From just a simple compliment to a real life advice.

I have seen girls suffer from mental illnesses and when seeking help through sharing their feelings and stories on groups, they find it. And let me tell you, the kind of encouragement that they get, is unbelievable!

2. It shows the difference one compliment can do!

Girls frequently post about insecurities regarding their appearance, others share their weight transformation even if it’s not much, and the way members respond is just incredible. They point out the good in them, they heartily congratulate and encourage them to keep going.

And that is the power of a good word, and yes, sometimes a compliment coming from a stranger is more believable.

3. It’s actually beneficial.

There are groups specific for hair and skin care, others specified for mothers, newlyweds, upcoming brides and even groups for young women who want to share something crafty that they have done! All these groups have girls sharing their experience with products, what worked with them and what didn’t. Girls often seek these groups for advice on where to find a certain item, and they would find replies mentioning near places at the best prices.

Instead of boring yourself with countless reviews from several bloggers, one platform offers all you need to know and more.

4. It’s teaching girls to accept themselves.

Girls have spent years getting fed with false beauty standards, that push them into spending time, money and effort in trying to always tame their hair and straightening it. But ever since Dina Ghalwash started the Instagram beauty blog, Curlytalks, and girls have began to accept their curls and its natural beauty. She shared with fans her heat free journey, until it became a trend, a journey that one shall not walk it alone. A healthy one.

And now, girls are sharing with one another hair routines, and healthy products that they can substitute their expensive products with.

5. Connecting girls with talents.

In the group ‘Today I did’, young women and girls get to share a crafty thing that they have done, or something that they are talented in and sell. Which helps connect them with possible clients, who in return can get these things with a more reasonable price.

And that is why being a part of these groups have become more of a lifestyle to girls, one they wouldn’t want to change. It’s a platform giving them the space they need to express themselves, share tips, ask for maternal help, recommendations and sometimes even just sharing a selfie. All without the fear of being judged, mocked or disregarded.

The only part that sometimes saddens me, and gets me wondering if these groups are really as healthy as I claim, or are they the exact opposite, and that is because I wonder why girls started reaching out to strangers for comfort and compliments? Why girls are in constant need for reassurance in order to boost their self-esteem?

But it is a part I willingly choose to ignore, because I would hate to believe that these girls aren’t getting the attention they deserve from their loved ones. And if what I fear is true, I’m still glad that those girls have found support elsewhere.

FOR THE FIRST TIME, MARVEL’S LOGO OPENS TO THE UNIQUE ARAB TRAP BY EGYPT’S HOMEGROWN TALENT DJ KABOO ON THE LATEST EPISODE OF MOONKNIGHT, HITTING THE SERIES’ WORLDWIDE AUDIENCE WITH EGYPTIAN CLASSIC. The new show, directed by renowned Egyptian director and producer Mohammed Diab, showcases current Egyptian talent with one of the Middle East’s rising Egyptian DJs and music producers well as Dubai’s star disc jockey, DJ Kaboo being one of them. Already having his first track “Arab Trap Made in Egypt” featured in the premier episode of the series which sampled “Khosara” by Abdel Halim Hafez which was licensed by Mazzika group. His second track “Enta” which is the fourth track of his Arab Trap E.P. sampling “Batwanes Beek” by Warda being the new hit track that stole the show on the third episode of Moon Knight, with the track not only being used for both the intro and the credits of the episode but being added to Marvel’s official playlist, taking Egyptian music and Kaboo to a whole new level on the global stage!
A Dubai’s club regular scene since becoming the 2013, Pioneer’s DJ Middle East champion, he was driven by his passion of mixing-and-mastering old popular Arab tracks in hopes of introducing the culture to a global audience. He honed his music production talents to carve a new sub-genre of “Arab Trap” releasing the powerful “Arab Trap Made in Egypt” in 2018, followed up by his Arab Trap E.P. in 2020. This string of successes led to him being known as the “Arab Trap King”, earning his place among the scene’s elite.
The Arab Trap king was presented with the amazing chance to have his tracks featured in Marvel’s new series in late 2021. Following the unbelievable opportunity, he contacted his manager, Carousel’s CEO Daliah Galal to take it to the next level, where she helped seal the deal. Marvel ended up taking both tracks which sampled the popular classic tracks from the Arab world. Kaboo was enthusiastic with the new series’ potential of exposing the world to a fresh and revitalized take on classic Egyptian and Arab music with an injection of modern trap elements for a new and energetic audience.

Kaboo performed with prominent global artists such as Drake and Rihanna as well as Arab superstar Mohamed Ramadan, with him being the official DJ for Rihanna’s 2018 Fenty Dubai Launch Party and later on he became Mohamed Ramadan’s official DJ in 2021. Who he had notable performances with at the 2022 Middle East music festival. This recent collaboration with Marvel stands to elevate Kaboo’s efforts to explore and introduce to the world his unique “Arab Trap” style with him as one of the rising stars in the region’s music scene with this being his time to introduce the rich Middle Eastern flavor to the world!
