<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/h2>\n

Well, I know who I\u2019m not.<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

I am not related to Alkeda <\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

or <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

any terrorist group that have the same names as the gentle people <\/em><\/strong>I call family<\/em> and friends<\/em> like Osama,<\/em> Ferek<\/em>, Fatima<\/em> and Thend<\/em>.<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Peace be upon them<\/em>.<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

I am the follower of Muhammad, Peace be upon him<\/em> and his message is mine<\/em>.<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

I am not the mirror image of who you see on t.v with a gun. <\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

I am not the daughter of bearded terrorist or crazy militia, radicals. <\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

I am a food lover, broken and mended.<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

I am Jessica<\/em>, and my name doesn’t fit my face wherever<\/em> I go <\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Born in Cali, raised in Saudi and loved and learned at home I am my home<\/em>.<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The lone ancestor of Pharaohs of big red campus and under this wheat toned skin of mine runs the Nile.<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0I am a waving glad of revolution<\/em>.<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

But you don’t see me<\/em>, you see a Vail<\/span>, while in fact your<\/em> eyes are vailed.<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\" I am Jessica<\/em> Theba Ibrahem Elsayed <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

and <\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n

unlike you, the definition <\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

of <\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

who I am<\/em> <\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

is <\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

not done<\/span>…<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
