Warning: I'm new to all of this...
- I've always been a reader. Reading is something I've always taken comfort in. Ever since I was a little kid, reading was most definitely one of my favorite things to do. As for trying to be on the other side of the situation (aka being a writer), I've never even given thought to it. Well that is until my mom suggested recently that I should try it out. And so I will.
Things to know about me:
- I'm a proud Muslimah and Islam is my way of life.
- I love people. I really don't care how different you may be from me; as long as you're a fellow human, I promise that I will try my absolute best to treat you with utmost respect. Diversity is what makes the world so beautiful.
- I try to find inspiration in the simplest things around me. I believe that there is a lesson to be learned from almost everything.
- I'm a Cali born and raised girl (with Sudanese roots) who currently resides in Saudi Arabia. Yup, I know... I'm lucky to have the opportunity to go to Mecca and Medinah quite frequently. Alhamdullilah.
- I'm bilingual (which really isn't anything special, but whatever...). I speak both English and Arabic fluently. I also speak a little bit of French, too.
- I'm a dreamer. A realistic one, but nonetheless a dreamer. My head is always somewhere up in the clouds.
- I'm passionate about causes that I hold close to my heart.
- I love chocolate. And traveling. And soul-searching. And truth-seeking. And horses.
- One of my favorite quotes is: “The greatest of wealth is the richness of the soul.” -Prophet Muhammed
