Salam alaikum. My name is Hanan Al-Masri. I'm 18 years old and live in the United Arab Emirates . I'm half Tanzanian and half Omani-Yemeni. But I only really know how to speak Swahili. I speak a little bit of Arabic since I live in the UAE but most times we speak English over here. Though we don't claim our Arab roots like that because it makes us seem fake. Im a light shade of brown. I wouldn't say I'm dark but I'm not light either. I'm 5'3 in height and I wear a hijab always so no need to talk about my hair or anything. I have two older brothers called Hassan and Hamid. They're twins if you're wondering. They're 25. Hassan got married to a beautiful Emirati women. And they have a son called Adam and a daughter called Aaliyah. Hamid got married to an amazing Kenyan woman called sumayyah and have one son called ibrahim. I love both my sister in laws and we get along very well. Anyways with them being married and having their own wives and kids to look after it's just me and my parents that live at home. My parents Salem and fatima have been married for at least 35 years already. And their still in love to this day. I wish for a relationship like theirs. My dad owns his own company and he's one of the 10th successful man in the whole world. We moved to the UAE when I was 5 years old for a better start. We live in a small home that's enough for us all. Even though we have money we don't like to flaunt it. We are happy and healthy and it's enough for us. We're like any normal family. Baba works at the company with my brothers and mama stays at home. She's a housewife. I stay home too when I'm not at school. You get the point.
