What's up, people? My name is Amelia Salomon, and I'm a French Canadian Muslim woman living in the City of Ottawa, Ontario. Five-foot-eight, chubby and big-bottomed, with alabaster skin, reddish brown hair and light brown eyes, that's me. I'm a graduate of the computer science programme at La Cite Collegiale, and hope to become a tech entrepreneur someday.
Today, I am happily married to a fine Muslim brother named Saleh Hussein, a native of Djibouti. We have two sons together, Maher and Omar, and a daughter, Amina. At last, I have a family of my own. I am thankful to the Creator for that. I never thought I'd have a family of my own, considering where I come from. Seriously.
My parents Louis and Michelle Salomon weren't nice people, and they used to beat on me. I received a lot of mistreatment during my formative years. With such an upbringing, I didn't do well in school and other areas of my life. I used to run away from home a lot but I had nowhere to run to. I dropped out of high school and had to work real hard to get my GED, and I only recently began attending an institution of higher education.
Life has a way of throwing a gal's plans upside down, folks. I worked menial jobs for ages and finally decided to go back to school the day my Italian boss at McDonald's called me a whore for refusing to suck his dick. Sorry, white guys don't do it for me. I'm waiting for the right man. Oh, and he's got to be black, since that's what I find attractive in a man.
Never been popular with males of any race, because I'm a tall, chubby woman with a big ass in a world that worships skinny broads. I'm twenty seven years old and up until recently, I'd never even had sex. As a pimply-faced, nerdy gal, I'm not what most guys find attractive. Well, that's what I thought, until I met Mohammed Nadir, the Somali prince.
The first times I laid eyes on Mohammed Nadir, the six-foot-tall, lean and athletic chocolate stud from Somalia took my breath away. A newcomer to the City of Ottawa, Ontario, by way of metropolitan Toronto, this guy was sex on legs. I have always found Muslim guys attractive, and the ones from East Africa are something else. Mohammed carried himself with a swagger and manly confidence that no white male could match, and he set my heart ( and panties ) on fire.
Alright, I might as well fess up at this point. I became obsessed with Mohammed and began following him around campus. We don't exactly walk in the same circles. Mohammed is Somali, as I mentioned before, so most of his friends are Somali students and Arab students. I decided to join the Muslim Student Club at school just to get close to Mohammed, and my plan worked like a charm.
The Muslim Student Club was extraordinarily diverse, with students from places like Morocco, Somalia, Djibouti, Syria, Ethiopia, Bangladesh, Burma and Egypt. I met quite a few remarkable people, and made real friendships there. Nadia Hussein, a tall and pretty brown-skinned gal from Djibouti became my best friend. Nadia taught me about Djibouti culture, and about Islam, and I fell in love with both. Three months after I joined the Muslim Student Club, I embraced Islam. I took my Shahada in front of the Muslim students, and thus took the new name Amal Suleiman.
