OWA 493: Female Literary Manager With Clients Working Across Film & TV Is Looking To Expand Her Roster And Sign Writers With High Concept Genre Scripts. Horror/thriller/sci-fi. Also Looking For Underrepresented Voices, Specifically MENA (0493)
Its a shorthand for Middle East and North Africa. Similar ones in contracts are Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg) and CIS/Commonwealth of Independent States (Baltic states, some smaller former Eastern Block countries and sometimes includs Russia).
That's correct. The manager is looking for writers from all backgrounds but does have a specific interest in reading writers from the Middle East and Northern Africa.

I suggest adding a profile picture. People will feel more comfortable networking and collaborating with you if they know what you look like. And if you have a picture, your profile will show up when someone searches for you.
Also, I’m a Stage 32 Lounge Moderator. I noticed your username isn’t a proper first and last name. It’s Stage 32’s policy that members have a proper first and last name on their accounts. Please make sure you change this on your profile, or you won’t be able to access Stage 32. Many Stage 32 members are reluctant to accept network requests from profiles that don’t have proper names, and they’ll report the accounts as spam, which will cause the accounts to get blocked. Let me know if you have any questions.

I looked up MENA, Rodney Merten. The only thing I saw was "Middle East and Northern Africa."

maybe that is the geographical area those underrepresented voices are from?
It sounds like the manager is looking for underrepresented voices from anywhere, Rodney Merten, specifically MENA.
