I come from a modest Muslim Egyptian family with 3 siblings, two in college, and one is graduated. I have been living in Egypt until I was 16. During this time, I launched a startup, a crowdfunding campaign, got my team trending worldwide on Twitter, and traveled around Egypt sharing my ideas on entrepreneurship and tech. Also, I was lucky to witness what I consider the most empowering event in the history of modern Egypt, the 25th of Jan revolution.

In 2016, I came to South Africa to join a boarding school named "African Leadership Academy" for two years high school program. My school brings students from all over Africa not only to offer them top-academic program and prepare them for college but also they teach students leadership, entrepreneurship, and innovation. With more than 40 countries in my school, I have been learning and experiencing something new everyday about Africa and the world.
