I know this shit is going to be shocking to some of you, because you've got preconceived notions about what Muslim women are like. And honestly, I don't give a shit. My name is Azeeza Amir. Born in the City of Modadishu, Somalia, and raised in the City of Ottawa, Province of Ontario. I'm twenty years old, and study in the Police Foundations program at Algonquin College. I got a story to tell you people. Why else would I be here, right? I'm here to set the record straight about some of us Somali ladies you see walking around metropolitan Ottawa, conservatively dressed and wearing the hijab. We are sexual beings just like other women. However, few of them are half as naughty as I am.
I stand five feet eight inches tall, chunky but funky, with light brown skin and long, curly Black hair. Why do I mention my hair? Because it matters to me. Most of all. I wear the hijab because I want to, not because anyone forces me to. I'm submissive to God, not Man. Most men you see walking around the Canadian capital are a bunch of fools anyway. Why would I feel submissive toward any of them? Any woman who thinks men are better just because they have an XY chromosome needs to have her skull examined. I hate the fact that everyone assumes Muslim women are submissive. If anything, I am bossy as hell. The other day I smacked my older brother Mohammed for talking back to me. I do not tolerate people disrespecting me under my own roof. Especially since Mohammed doesn't do shit all day. He's been staying with me ever since his girlfriend Rachel kicked him out. Again.
