Rayhanah

Rayhanah is a 15 year old homebody who loves dancing, watching Netflix, and playing outside in her neighbourhood. She has a fantastic sense of humour and when asked what makes her laugh so hard it hurts she responds, "myself." (Her sense of humour is also her own favourite quality) She told me she wishes to be perceived as someone who is easy to talk to, funny, and genuine. When I asked Rayhanah what she thinks are stereotypes of Muslim women she responded, "I think women in general get stereotyped as less entitled, but Muslims get stereotyped as terrorists and bad people. So Muslim women get a bit of both."
