I take pride in the accomplishments of my ancestors, who were oppressed BECAUSE of their race. Although I don't DEFINE myself by my race, I do believe that it is one of the many things that inspires me to go above and beyond expectations
My grandmother used to tell me that I was a representative of islam" not race, and to remember whose blood ran through my veins. Whenever I feel like being lazy or letting something slide, I pull from the knowledge that I'm able to do things that r only 2 please ALLAH not race
i don't let my race define me no way!
