Salaam. I'm Missi.
I made this account when I was becoming public about my religious journey, but it only documented one small segment in the middle. What was not shown were the 5 years preceding spent studying world religions and being pulled toward Islam starting at the age of 18 nor the years following which saw me on steadier ground. What I gave you was merely a peek into what it was like to be in transition. These were the videos I made that I wished I could have found when trying to become public with my family and friends as a Muslimah. I didn't want videos from the hijab-wearing convert who had her shit together. I didn't want videos from the born-Muslim woman giving life advice or makeup tips. I wanted to see what it was really like, but I couldn't find that. So instead, I turned on my webcam and showed you all what it was like first hand to navigate the intricacies of being Muslim in this time and place.
And what you saw is what you got.
Missi
