Just because I'm an extremely tall and assertive woman doesn't automatically make me dominant in the bedroom, I calmly told Omar Yusuf as he sat across from me at a table inside the Saint Laurent Mall's crowded food court. I'm glad to hear it, the handsome young black man said, gently caressing my knee under the table. Let's go home, I told him, licking my lips for emphasis. Arm in arm we left the east end mall together. What a pair we made! A six-foot-eight, curvy and definitely statuesque, exotic-looking young woman with caramel skin, long curly black hair and lime-green eyes, clad in business attire...escorted by a stocky, muscular black guy dressed in urban gear and sporting a shaved head. Hot damn!
My name is Mona Abdirahman, and I'm a young woman living in the City of Ottawa, Ontario. I was born in the City of Edmonton, Alberta, to a Somali immigrant father and Irish-Canadian mother. My parents, Abdullah Abdirahman and Christine O'Donnell divorced before I started high school. To say that my parents came from different worlds would be the understatement of the century. My father was Muslim and my mother is a staunch Catholic. The funny thing is that they're both of average height, and I look like neither of them.
Somehow, I ended up being six-foot-six, which is kind of odd because Somali-descended women aren't known for their great height. Somali women are known for their beautiful faces, curvy bodies and phenomenal butts but they're usually a short bunch. By comparison with most of them, I am a female giant. I suffered from a rare form of gigantism when I was younger but thanks to hormone therapy it's all over and done with now. It has made my life interesting, to say the least. I recently graduated from the University of Calgary with a Master's degree in business administration. These days, I work for the Toronto Dominion Bank's MBNA Branch in the east end of the City of Ottawa, Ontario. Life couldn't be better.
