Mona Abou Hamze : The period preceding MTV

The period preceding MTV:

The Civil War unfortunately forced me to change 5 primary schools. My first school days were at the Italian School for girls, located  next to Concorde, Verdun.

When I reached elementary, I moved to “Ecole Saint Joseph de l’Apparition” where I later on graduated.

The American University of Beirut was my choice to major in “Political Studies”. As soon as I graduated , I met my husband Bahij and got engaged shortly after . Bahij is a businessman, holder of a BA in Chemical Engineering from the University of Oklahoma.

God blessed me with the most amazing gifts ever, my 3 lovely kids:

1-    Ayman, 19 years old, currently majoring in Architecture

2-    Iyad, 17 years old, currently studying for his BAC I

3-    Yassmine, 14 years old, currently studying for Brevet.

I have always loved writing. Among the major things I have achieved prior to establishing my career as a TV presenter is the writing  of my poetry book Bila Haka’eb بلا حقائب.

Furthermore, I enjoy reading all kinds of books whether historical, political, philosophical and even literature.

MTV Lebanon re-established its existence 3 years ago, and that was when I was given the opportunity to present the now much liked talk show “Talk of the Town”.

My life has changed  ever since, but I am still a dedicated housewife and a full-time mother. Everyone knows it’s very hard to establish a perfectly balanced lifestyle where one can give 100% attention to both raising kids and juggling a full-time job, yet I try to do my best for my family, my parents and my demanding career.
