Stay Human X Stay Humble

Amira Abdella is a market leader in the wellness industry and the visionary founder and CEO of the Stay Human x Stay Humble (SHxSH) connection platform. After earning her degrees in Sociology and Business Analytics from the University of Massachusetts and Boston University, Amira honed her expertise as a product analyst at some of the world's most renowned technology companies, including Hubspot, Wayfair, and LinkedIn.

Her journey to creating SHxSH was inspired by a transformative moment in 2015. During a life-altering conversation with a close friend, the seed of entrepreneurship was planted when her friend asked, "What would you do if you could change the world through innovation?" Despite not having an immediate answer, this question would become a driving force in Amira's life.

2020 proved a pivotal year, as the pandemic and war in Tigray drove Amira to turn her dream into a reality. Amid the chaos of the world, she realized that human connection is an intrinsic part of our being—yet in modern society, the pathways to such connections have become increasingly elusive. No matter who we are or where we're from, we all need love, connection, and support to thrive.

In a world where 43% of young adults have reported an increase in loneliness and depression after the pandemic, it’s evident that we are grappling with an unprecedented mental health crisis. With affordable and accessible support still sadly rare, Amira founded SHxSH in 2021 with the vision of cultivating an uplifting global community centered on the power of genuine human connection.

By empowering our users with access to a curated, positive online community, SHxSH stands in direct contrast to social media platforms that present false realities and glamorous versions of our everyday lives. Our positive messages, sentiments, and words of advice are created by people—not algorithms—to remind users that we all face similar challenges as we navigate the complexities of life. But, more importantly, they remind us that we all have the power to change the world.

Join the SHxSH movement and pave the way for a brighter, more connected future.
