Ohh, this part is always tough! My family is Pakistani, I was born in Saudi Arabia, but I grew up in NY. Deen is the most important thing to me - I love Islam and I love learning about and growing in my faith every day! Besides that, I come from a large, close-knit family. I am passionate about the things that are important in my life - family, faith, politics, etc. - but I hope that I am humble and empathetic too. I value kindness and humility in others. I enjoy reading, going to the movies, hiking, minimalism, and bonfires. I love to laugh, and I tend towards the optimistic ;)
