Show Notes

There’s been an explosion in terms of people’s focus on health—both physical as well as mental & general well-being—over the last few years.

Amina shares how she got started with her venture, how she managed to build a community of like-minded people in the middle of Egypt’s 2011 revolution and shares her expansion plans in related sectors.
