Congratulations Lamis

Prominent media figure Lamis Elhadidy was rated the Best Presenter of 2025 and I see that she deserves this title as it is an appreciation for a long career defined by diligence, patience, and a deep belief in the value of what she provides to the public. My testimony might be biased, as she has been a dear and precious friend for over twenty-five years.

However, Lamis is not just a face we see on the screen; she is a mind in constant motion. She is a woman who never stops learning, sincerely respects her audience, and considers every episode as if it is her first. She studies, prepares, and thinks deeply about what she will say and how she will say it—driven by her belief that words are a responsibility and that true media is not measured by a loud voice, but by its ability to enlighten minds.

What distinguishes Lamis Elhadidy is that she has never drifted behind "trends," nor has she changed her principles to match the shifting public mood. From the beginning, she chose a harder path: maintaining her professionalism and siding with logic and the people's right to understand. Her questions have always stemmed from culture, reading, and awareness, which is why her presence has remained constant despite the changing media landscape around her.

I followed up her honoring ceremony and was delighted by the warm reception and the love that surrounded her. I listened to the words of the great media figure Mohamed Hany, Chairman of Al-Nahar TV, as he praised Lamis and her career, noting that her presence on stage is an addition to the festival and that her name is synonymous with professionalism, honesty, and continuity.

Media icon Hala Sarhan also affirmed her appreciation for Lamis as a woman who succeeded in her field by overcoming all obstacles. She emphasized that this honoring is not just an award, but a celebration of professionalism and commitment.

On a human level, Lamis remains the woman who has not been changed by the spotlight or top positions. She is sincere and knows when to speak and when silence is enough. She has faced many professional challenges with calmness and strength, without ever losing respect.

Today’s honoring is an appreciation to a presenter and media figure who serves as a model for a woman who chose to pay the full price for success and remain faithful to her beliefs. It is an award that honors a path she chose and navigated successfully—the path of commitment and hard work throughout her years in the media.

Congratulations, Lamis, on this recognition that befits your journey. And congratulations to us for having a media figure who understands the true meaning of media work and knows how to win the confidence of her audience by being strong and sincere.
