When people think of me they usually think of my unique name, Ayesha Karim. You know my name was what made me feel special when I was a little girl. Another thing that always made me feel special is the nice gifts I’d get for Christmas and my birthday every year. This is still something I look forward to in my 30s. I will continue to look forward to Christmas, Kwanzaa and my birthdays as I get older. I get such nice gifts from my parents on my birthday and for Christmas and from other relatives. I got money from my grandmother one year. I just love my life. It is a good life. It’s mine. I believe in self-love and loving other people. I am happy I learned to love and accept myself. I would not change that fact for the world or all the money in the world. Nothing compares to me.
My identity is what makes me stand out.
