Balqees was the name of a powerful and wise queen who ruled over Sheba. The historic significance of the name has helped drive Balqees Fathi, an award-winning singer and soprano, to leave her own legacy.
“Ismek Naseebic,” says the 27-year-old Emirati-Yemeni artist, quoting a proverb that translates as “your name defines your destiny”.
“When I asked my father why did he name me after this Yemeni queen, he said he wanted me to be a wise and powerful figure, just like her, who brought about change to her people peacefully without dragging them into war.”
