Pia Abou Antoun (born July 15, 2001) is a Lebanese entrepreneur, creative director, and advocate for women’s empowerment. As the the founder of DareFemale and Chief Executive & Creative Officer (CECO) of Artists and More Entertainment, she has built a career at the intersection of storytelling, production, and advocacy. Her work transcends traditional means, using creative expression as a vehicle for connection, inspiration, and social change.
Pia was born and raised in Lebanon. From an early age, she was drawn to the world of creativity—reading, drawing, painting, and capturing moments through her camera. She always had to be engaged in something artistic; for her, creativity was not just a pastime but a way of expressing herself. Ideas flowed naturally to her, shaping the foundation of what would later become her career in entertainment and storytelling.
At the core of Pia’s advocacy is DareFemale, a platform she founded to redefine self-love, mental health awareness, and women’s empowerment. Unlike many mainstream empowerment initiatives that focus on curated perfection, DareFemale embraces imperfection—it is honest, raw, and deeply human. Through this initiative, Pia creates spaces where women can break free from societal expectations, share their truths without judgment, and reclaim their voices in a world that often silences them. Under her leadership, DareFemale has grown beyond a platform—it has become a movement, inspiring women to embrace their resilience and rewrite their own narratives. Pia doesn’t shy away from difficult conversations. She openly addresses topics such as mental health, self-worth, emotional resilience, and the struggles of identity.
As the CEO and Creative Director of Artists and More Entertainment, Pia has turned creative vision into large-scale productions that push the boundaries of live entertainment. Her approach is not about delivering spectacles for the sake of spectacles—it is about curating immersive experiences that resonate on a deeper level. One of her most celebrated works, “Christmas on Ice” 1 and 2, became the largest family entertainment productions in Lebanon’s history. These shows were not merely seasonal performances but profound storytelling experiences woven with themes of love, chosen family, time, and hope. Pia ensured that every moment on stage carried an emotional weight, leaving audiences with a feeling, a memory, a message that lingered long after the curtains closed.
Pia has consistently redefined the live entertainment industry across the Middle East. She merges innovative stage direction with authentic, emotionally charged storytelling, curating experiences that make audiences feel deeply. Whether through immersive theatrical performances, interactive events, or cinematic storytelling, Pia’s work is always driven by one guiding principle: art should move people. Her commitment to excellence has earned Artists and More Entertainment the ISO certification, making it the first entertainment company in the region to achieve this standard. Pia has also received several titles across the MEA Market Business Awards, solidifying her status as an industry leader.
As a CEO, Pia believes in customizing leadership to fit each individual, rather than applying a rigid one-size-fits-all approach. When leading her team, she tailors strategies to each person’s strengths and aspirations, fostering an environment of growth, collaboration, and personal development. This leadership philosophy has helped her cultivate a team that is not only talented but deeply connected to the vision she upholds.
What distinguishes Pia is her ability to seamlessly merge business leadership with creative vision. As a CEO, she strategizes, innovates, and leads an empire of entertainment. As a creative force, she directs, writes, and curates experiences that challenge perspectives and ignite conversations.Her ability to balance executive leadership with artistic direction sets her apart. She is not just a business leader; she is a writer, a director, a producer, and an advocate for storytelling that matters. Every script she pens, every show she directs, and every event she produces carries an undeniable sense of purpose—a desire to connect, uplift, and inspire.
Pia has made it her mission to use entertainment as a bridge between hearts and minds. Her productions go beyond performance; they challenge stigma, encourage vulnerability, and create spaces where people can see themselves reflected in the stories being told. For Pia, success is not measured in ticket sales, industry accolades, or the scale of a production—it is measured in moments. The instant an audience member feels understood, the way a single scene can evoke tears, or the power of a story to make someone feel less alone.
Her career is built on the belief that art is a lifeline. It has the power to remind people of their worth, to heal unseen wounds, and to provide comfort in moments of uncertainty. Whether through DareFemale’s advocacy, Artists and More’s productions, or her personal storytelling, Pia remains committed to creating spaces where people feel truly seen. Her legacy is one of boldness, authenticity, and belief in the transformative power of connection. As a CEO, a creative visionary, and an advocate for truth, Pia Abou Antoun continues to shape the entertainment industry—not just through the productions she creates, but through the lives she touches along the way.
