A friend once said are you ever not working?
When you love what you do you never consider it work
In the very first episode, I share the story of How a Camera Saved My Life
This is a follow up where I share the entire story of how I got started and where I am now.
My first camera was a Kodak Polaroid Camera
Then the convenient store digital film cameras
In Middle School, I was gifted with a \\xa0digital camera which I took with me on my first out of the country trip to Costa Rica.
The DSLR (Digitial Single Lens Reflex) cameras I own and use are the Nikon D3000 and D7000 (Video Capabilities)
I Really started using it during my first trip to my first African country of Ghana (Which I also talked about in a previous episode)
Unbeknownst to me, I started capturing the last professional images of friends/family/clients
Family Portrait - Son of Audiologist Marine
Family friend Almaz - I took the most and the last professional photographs of her
Began photographing my friend who grew up in a musical family
My first big media break thanks to my aunt who was a freelance makeup artist
My name meaning is illuminous (illuminating, shining bright)
That\\u2019s what I bring to the Music Industry and any of my Candid Style of Portraits
My classmates have said my travel work resembles Steve McCurry and makes them feel like they were in the country I traveled to.
I studied the work of Jeremy Cowart who I mentioned in a previous episode as he founded Help-Portrait.
Back when Amazon was a book reseller my mom bought me photo books
I ordered books from photographers who looked like me or whose style I admired such as Matthew Jordan Smith and photographers like Mark Liddell, Mario Testino
Brian Smith - whom I had the pleasure of meeting and receiving an autograph from.
I even got to meet the official photographer of the Grand Ole Opry, Chris Hollo and got his Autograph as well.
Studied Commercial Photography in High School - wanted to take the journalism program, but instead got placed in the Architecture program. There are no regrets because I know how to read floor plans and how I want to build my future house.
Then studied Professional Photography post-high school.
Only a handful of my classmates still actively pursue photography because, like entrepreneurship, it is not easy.
What a full Circle it is because a camera saved my life due to an image my mother took to help detect cancer, and now I plan to give back by teaching children.
I saw a need and a void that I could fill.
I had others who wanted to be my assistant just so they could learn.

Growing up an only child, my mom taught me the importance of being charitable and how to share. The older I got, the easier it became to give. I share my experience with Key Club, Kiwanis, Help-Portrait, and Operation Crossroads Africa.

I\\u2019ll talk more about this in another episode but combined with my love language, disc profile (inspiring and supportive) enneagram (Type 2 the helper) and personality type is ISFP-T, it is a given that service is inevitably a part of my life. I\\u2019m that big-hearted empath that wears my heart on my sleeve. My Love language is any one of the five on a given day but my biggest is quality time.
As a Muslim, Charity is one of the five pillars of our religion of Islam. I talk more about that in a previous episode (Episode 05 Islam A Way of Life).
Charity becomes more prominent during the holy month of Ramadan. It is more so common for women, especially if they are on their menstrual cycle or pregnant because if you are unable to fast or sustain from eating and drinking from sun up to sun down, then you should be charitable. That can be monetary, or a matter of giving your time and serving or making food for those who are fasting or less fortunate.
Also because of my history of PCOS Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome which I talked about in a previous episode (Episode 02 PCOS Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), I end up doing more charity than fasting. It\\u2019s like taking a breath for me.
My first real paid job was as a summer camp counselor to deaf-blind in middle school. No I was not 16 yet, but it was a part of vocational and orientation/life skills. They paid us bi-weekly.
It was such an exciting job because I was able to be of service. I was able to be a listener. I wanted to be a psychologist.
At my first high school, I became a member of Key Club, high school portion of Kiwanis International, during my freshman year. Even though I ran for secretary and did not win the election, my club advisor asked me to be the Class President. I was the president of all the Sophomores. I started a Key Club chapter at my second high school in Fort Lauderdale. Key Club has nothing to do with the making of door keys, but I do believe that service is the key to life as well as kindness.
As a young adult, I became a member of Kiwanis, the Young Adult Club in Washington D.C. where I led a chapter version of the fundraising program called Eliminate (maternal and neonatal tetanus; a bacterial disease can affect joints in third world countries).
The year I graduated high school, I was looking up ways to be of service with my photography skills. I learned about Help-Portrait and photographer Jeremy Cowart, who is based in the Nashville area. He founded it in 2008. It\\u2019s an annual event. Photographers, volunteers, makeup artists come together to take a professional picture for free. It\\u2019s an exhilarating experience.
I became one of those who would always give the homeless or less fortunate money whenever I could. My favorite and most exciting service projects are the ones where I can interact with people. There was a period where I would question their motive, but then it took me some growing to realize that my intentions are pure and it\\u2019s between them and God what they do with the money.
My next real job (A monthly paycheck) was Operation Crossroads Africa. I also talked about them in a previous episode.
(Episode 03 Operation Crossroads Africa) I wore many hats: Photographer for orientation, communications associate for DMV Alumni Association, videographer for their promo videos, social media marketer (Created their Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest), email manager, productivity consultant, advisor, gala steering committee member, and volunteer. That opened a lot of doors for me. They were my first real client. I\\u2019m grateful for the opportunities. I look forward to being a group leader either to my husband\\u2019s country of The Gambia or to a new country as a part of my goal to visit 30 African countries by age 30. Crossroads Meant so Much to me as a paid job. My love for Africa grew working with Crossroads.
I will give my old clothing items and electronics to Goodwill, Salvation Army or companies like those before I sell it. If it\\u2019s not in horrible condition, I will give to someone who I know will be more grateful for it. That mentality stayed with me when it came to recycling.
My favorite quote by Muhammad Ali:
\\u201cService is the rent you pay for your room here on Earth.\\u201d
Takeaways:
My first few jobs involved interacting with people/being of service. One of the 9 Guiding rules of my part-time job is service. No matter what I do where this life takes me, I try to always incorporate service with all of my jobs as a photographer, brand cultivating strategist and as a woman.

He also did a little driving in the military during the Vietnam War in the Air Force.
Played lots of driving video games growing up such as Crazy Taxi.
I was surrounded by cars, new cars, old cars, rental cars.
Been driving since a child but with a permit since age 15, passed the test by age 16.

Blindspot/side view mirrors as a requirement on license
Glasses as a requirement when driving
Fast driving runs in my family
I’ve never gotten a major speeding ticket nor had an accident.
Have had my car since high school.
I have my dad’s driving genes.
A way to use my car - racking up no miles in D.C. due to taking public transportation and walking the streets like a local
By the time I was old enough to rent a car, Which was age 18 thanks to USAA
I must have been so used to having blind spots that I knew where to look. My mother joked that I had the driving genes of my father.
It came up more than once however the time it really clicked was when my friend from high school Came to visit me in Tennessee from Florida.
It was her first time in Tennessee ever and it was my pleasure to show her around the tourist spots.
She enjoyed it so much that she asked me out of the blue have you ever thought of becoming an Uber driver?

It was her first time in Tennessee ever and it was my pleasure to show her around the tourist spots.
She enjoyed it so much that she asked me out of the blue have you ever thought of becoming an Uber driver?
Fast forward a couple of years later, as I was in between jobs I applied for Uber and Lyft
