From Two Worlds to Global Impact: Maha’s Journey of Self-Reliance
Growing up as an Egyptian-American in Minnesota during the '80s, Maha often felt like she was living in two worlds. Fitting in was challenging, but over time, she realized her unique identity was her greatest strength. Surrounded by books and news, she dreamed of bridging the gap between East and West.
Her father always taught her to think long-term. When she moved to Egypt, she nearly turned down a job she thought she was overqualified for. Her father’s advice changed her life: “Put your head down, work hard, and let your work speak for itself.” It’s advice she has carried throughout her career.
After years in communications—working with global corporations like Google and Netflix, and advising governments—Maha founded Digital & Savvy. What started as a leap of faith grew into a successful firm with offices in the USA and Dubai.
Her book, 7 Rules of Self-Reliance, is the culmination of 30 years of experience. It’s about embracing the small, consistent efforts that lead to success and trusting yourself to create your own path. Maha believes self-reliance is the ultimate superpower, and she is excited to share these lessons with the world.

MAHA CONTRIBUTES TO FORBES WITH “WHY SOCIETY NEVER PUT SELF-RELIANCE ON A PEDESTAL”
Self-reliance is a superpower. It not only makes you valuable, but it also makes you indispensable to others. Society, however, has never put self-reliance on a pedestal and rarely celebrates it. The term often gets a bad rap, and is seen as synonymous with independence or selfishness, as though self-reliant people don’t need anyone else.
