You are known as Mint, tell us about your nickname.
My entire nursery from wall colour to potty was mint. When I was born, my family was lost for names, so they decided to call me Mint temporarily. I was named Manar after my mother, it was impossible to have two Manars in the same house, so Mint stuck and it's what I answer to!
When was your first encounter with pole fitness?
In 2010, when I went to university in the UK.
What made you start Pole Fit classes in Egypt?
I came back to Egypt after university and I wanted to do pole fitness with other people, since I was already an instructor it only made sense to teach here.
