NATIVE FEMALE

"Every soul shall have a taste of death: And only on the Day of Judgment shall you be paid your full recompense. Only he who is saved far from the Fire and admitted to the Garden will have attained the object (of Life): For the life of this world is but goods and chattels of deception." (Al Imran Chapter 3 verse 185)

How people love to perceive us when we come into a brand new town

Being born in the struggle, avoiding bullets from the blue sky


Still from the ghettos of Somalia

How God comes first in our lives, everything that we do is for ALLAH
