The Youngest Egyptian to Reach Mount Everest BC

Farida Amr, the co-director of writing of Momentum Magazine, conducted an interview with Farida El Sharkawy, the youngest Egyptian, as well as the first Eyptian teenager, to reach Mount Everest Base Camp. A two-time TEDx speaker, World Youth Forum attendee, and an active member of the organisation “Surviving Hijab,” Farida El Sharkawy continues to amaze us with her hard work, dedication, passion, and perspective. 

Note: To avoid confusion, Farida Amr’s name will be replaced with “Momentum” for this interview.
