Jameela: Asalaam Alaikum Sis, I see you’ve dyed your hair again?

Aliyah: Yep. Looks good don’t it? What do you think?

Jameela: Erm… I think you may have overdone it with the blonde highlights, not too sure if it suits your skin tone… but hey, what’s with the makeover anyway?

Aliyah: Well, you’re looking at the new me. I’ve decided I’m through with all this being a Muslim girl thing. Now people know that I ain’t one of those girls they can order about. I’ve decided I ain’t taking no crap any more.

Jameela: Well that’s great, respecting yourself is really important, but what’s taking crap got to do with being and looking like a Muslim?

Aliyah: Listen yeah, I ain’t saying nuffin’ about you or anything, but I got plans for me. I’m gonna show all these people that they can’t boss me about and control my life. I ain’t thick, I can make my own decisions you know. You get me?

Jameela: Err… no not really.  (Read More and comment)
