Because I was Born Muslim, I grew up not celebrating holidays like Christmas, Easter, Halloween, etc. Instead we celebrated Ramadan, which I really can't remember because I was so young. I just remember gathering with a bunch of people who I knew were Muslim from different Masjids, praying, eating, and getting toys. I even remember there being a whole bunch of trucks for games, but when Me, my mom, and my brother moved to Florida my mother let us experience things like Christmas and Halloween because she's not super religious. She said that it wasn't really celebrating the holiday, just participating in the activities. Like on Christmas we weren't celebrating the birth of Christ. we were just exchanging and getting gifts.  Now that I moved back to Philly with my grandmother it's different because she's very strict on religion. Even though I don't really follow religion I still pray because I know that's what she wants me to do.

When I start Traveling, I would like to go to Antigua and Barubda, Bora Bora, Hawaii, Aspen, and the one place I really wanna go to is Africa. I would like to travel to more places but those are in my Top 5. I even considered becoming a Flight attendant just to travel faster. Seeing other cultures, and how everyone lives outside of America has always been something I wanted to do.

I value myself and the principles of Self love. I feel as if everyone should get lessons on self Awareness and Self love. Everyone deserves to know that they are important and loved.

I was born Muslim, however I am a very spiritual person and I don't like to limit myself to just one category. I use a lot of the principles that Muslims use, but I still live my life as me. If someone asked me what religion I was I would say I was born a Muslim but then go into detail about how I believed that if I was anything else I would be Agnostic and Omneist as well. Or just say that im Spiritual and not Affiliated.

Ruqiaya actually comes from my religion which is Muslim.  It means Gentle; name of the daughter of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Ruqiaya is an Arabic female given name meaning "rise or ascend" or "refined and elevated". I feel like my name definitely fits me. It's very unique and I like to think that I'm unique as well.

I am a proud African American. My family are proud Pan-Africanists and love learning more about our history as well as teaching it. My great grandmother and great uncles were apart of the Black Panther Party. My family is very proud to be able to say that someone played an important part in history.

I am healthy, I am wealthy
I am rich, I am that (expletive)
I am gonna go get that bag
And I am not gonna take your (expletive)
I am protected, well respected
I'm a queen, I'm a dream
I do what I wanna do
And I'm who I wanna be
'Cause I am me

I used this song to relate to me because I 100% believe in manifestation. I feel like manifestation is the key to everyone's everyday life. If you believe it's going to happen then it will. You also have to work towards the goal that you believe is going to happen. I even use some of her lyrics as some of my daily manifestation's because it's all about self love, self-awareness, and self motivation; and this song has all of that and more.

I aspire to be a very successful women. I will go to Clark Atlanta and major in Social Work and Early childhood Development. I will then enroll myself in Grady's EMT program, graduate and become a paramedic for about 4 years then go into Social work for an additional 4 years ; after I will open my own daycare and continue working until I feel it's time for me to retire. Somewhere in between college and finishing high school I'll start my YouTube and my daily vlogs with my bestfriend. It's not a hope or dream to become famous I just know I will be. I also want to start my own clothing line as well as face care line. All in all, I'm going to do anything that I can to make as much money and keep me happy. I aspire to be a role model for young girls when I'm older. I want people to hear my story and let it motivate them to go and be successful in their lives.

Music is something that I will forever love, I can listen to anything as long as it's good. I love listening to older songs just to get a nostalgic feel. I also like to sing and listen to other people sing live. My favorite artist consists of YoungBoy NeverBrokeAgain, J.cole, Rod Wave, and Nardo Wick. Writing and reading is another passion of mine, I can sit and write for hours and thousands of ideas to write about come to my head. Hair has been an interest of mine since I was young, and I got more into it after I had to start doing my little cousins and siblings hair. I wanted to open my own salon a while back but lost interest when I started my EMT class at my old school. I love spending time with my younger siblings, because I eventually wanna go into work with younger kids, and being around them is like practice.
