My name is Ayesha, I'm an 18 year old photographer on a mission to share my story with as many people as possible and inspire others to share theirs 

Ten years ago I had a terrible accident at my friend's lake. I was pushed into the water from a very high distance. I was pronounced dead for a total of 4 seconds, but I was luckily revived. I spent the next few years with on and off again paralysis and lost all feeling in my left hand. During that time my dear sister, Sonia suddenly passed away at 16 years old. Sonia and I were inseparable, she was my sun, moon, and stars. When she left us, I thought there was nothing else to live for. I thought I would never be able to recover without her by my side. However, through the help of many wonderful people Allah has sent me, I learned to walk again. Soon after, a well known influencer offered to sponsor me and encouraged me to keep going with my business. Eventually, I had hundreds of bookings and people were begging to use me for their events. Life certainly hasn't been easy, but I've only become stronger from everything I've been through. Now, I spend my days running my small business, reading, traveling, and making new friends to share my story with. And I couldn't have done it without my beloved friends and family 

I hope my journey can inspire you or someone you know to make the most out of life
