Her parents disagree with her dream and much prefer her to become a doctor or take on her father's food business.
Most of her family think she's highly stupid and think she is a girl; so she can't be playing sports as a profession. Her family thinks girl's are weak when it comes to sports and business.
Atifah thinks that her family are wrong because all they seem to care about is their appearance in public.
Will she be able to cope with the perks of being a hijabi basketball player?
Will she go ahead and follow her dream or follow what has already been planned for her?

Join Alaa as she navigates her journey of faith, family life, a confusing and massive crush, friendships, and being the black sheep at her High school. ------------------------------ He mumbles, and all I hear is, "You're right. I don't want to,". Don't want to what? Don't want to lose me to somebody else? Don't want to say goodbye to me? Don't want to regret not saying the last goodbye? A million questions raced my mind. He stepped out of the car. I'd never seen him look so devastated. I thought this was an apology, but it wasn't; it was goodbye. "Hey," I waved slightly and even made a point to smile a little bit, the type of wave and smile we sent each other across the hall. He sent one right back. That's it, maybe things would be better between us. But when his smile faded, I knew they wouldn't. Now mind you, he wasn't usually the type to hold grudges. But this was different, I guess. "Well I guess this is the end." He shrugs.Complete

THE PATH UNCHOSEN
They chose the path for her, but her heart whispered a different story. Swabrah never wanted to disappoint her parents-but choosing between faith, family, and her own dreams was never easy. Raised in a household of tradition, with a father who's a respected ustadh and a mother rooted in deen and culture, expectations were never light. They wanted her to pursue medicine-for ujra, to serve society. She wanted Business Law. She ended up in Purchasing and Supply Chain Management. Now in a new college, far from the safety of home, with no familiar faces and only her niqab between her and the world, Swabrah battles silent storms: identity, anxiety, and the fear of not being enough. When an unexpected friendship with a bubbly non-Muslim girl begins to bloom, her quiet world starts to shift. Can Swabrah find her voice in a world that never asked what she wanted?Complete
