I came back home after 12 years...

friend, I was never ready to return…

When we left Egypt abruptly back in 2012, it was during a politically turbulent time, the people have overthrown the old regime in hopes for true democracy…this was the Arab spring.

Moving to the US at 19 years old, I was redefining what it means to be my own independent person as a Middle Eastern North African woman, which if you know anything about our culture, you’d know that being independent as a woman is no easy feat.

This move led me to a lot of travel, exploring my own concept of HOME, JOY and FREEDOM.

I became obsessed with the concept of freedom.

My personal freedom.

Freedom from systems, social structures & how I was supposed to be & live.

Which eventually fueled my current philosophy in business!

I got tattoos. I wore my hair big and wild. I traveled solo. I made my own money. I quit my corporate job. I started my own business. I traveled and ran my business full time for years.

So finally coming back to the only true home I know, feels like reconnecting with the parts of myself that I left (rejected) in order to find my freedom.

Excited to bring you along and to share with you how our personal journeys are directly related to our business.
