Life's Not Linear with Mahmoud Khedr

Mahmoud @moody.io is a beacon of hope for our youth today. Born in Egypt and being Muslim, assimilating to American culture was very difficult. He struggled with avoiding and hiding his culture, lying about his ethnicity, and doing all he could to “fit in”. Mahmoud later realized that people’s opinions of him did not and do not define him or his identity. His entrepreneurial ventures started young, selling candy bars, and washing dishes. Moving into college, he worked for a couple of startups but soon said he did not want to pursue another startup UNLESS it had deep intrinsic value. And then, @flora.mind was born. He and his two best friends, @danny.ts0 & @khandkeraham had a conversation that sparked a movement to bring mental health education to our youth. Watch to find out more!
