US Secretary of State Tony Blinken drew attention to Hoda Kotb, the American of Egyptian origin, who successfully made her way into the American media world, considering her a fruitful model in Egyptian-American relations.

While followers were interested in the practical aspect of Qutb's life, and her path of ascent and success on the American way, others were interested in the human aspect of Qutb's life and her courageously confronting cancer, and her ability to continue despite her suffering.

Hoda Kotb's life was associated with stardom at an early age in her life, as she was chosen first in the "Queen of Homecoming" competition after graduating from Fort Hunt High School in 1982, then a spokesperson for her class upon her graduation from Virginia Institute of Technology, and then a leader in the "Delta Delta" organization. "Delta" is a prestigious women's business, whose establishment dates back to the eighties of the 18th century, according to her biography published on the site "Sarplus.com".

In an interview with Coping Magazine, Qutb revealed the fact that she joined NBC, saying: "I had just finished a breast cancer surgery, and (NBC) was in a new launch. I rushed to her and did something I never thought I could do. I went on my own to the chief manager of the station and told him I wanted to work. It was a strange thing for my character. In my life, I did the opposite, I went to the elevator and pressed the number 52 and asked to meet the manager, Jeff Zucker, and I imagine that if I had not had cancer, I would not have done this, and I would not have been with Kathy Lee Keefor.

After graduating, Kotb worked for the "WW.N" channel, then "Dateline NBC", but her main brilliance that gave her fame is her joining the "Today Show" program on the "NBC" channel, which she works on. Its today, which Americans watch every morning.

Kotb wrote her autobiography in a book titled "Huda: How I Survived Wars, Bad Poetry, Cancer and Kathy Lee Keefour", and the book ranked as a New York Times bestseller in the year of its publication.

In her book, Qutb touched on her Egyptian origins and residency in Cairo for a year, but she aroused widespread criticism when she criticized social conditions and customs.

It is worth noting that Hoda Kotb ranked 87th in the "Arab Business" list, which included 100 names of prominent Arab personalities who influenced the world in 2017, according to what was reported by "Arab America" ​​magazine.
