About Me

Bismillah.

"the one who does not understand my silence will not understand my words"

Muslim. Womb.an.Mother. Strength. weakness, though I'd never let you notice. Passionate, intense even. stubborn. I love love. I love hard. I love G-d. I love good people. I care about people..too much i've been told. I'm not sure there is such thing. I am flawed. I am a thinker. I reflect. I love sunsets. At times I wish the sky was purple and the moon, green. Sometimes it is....look closely. I'm a dreamer which in turn makes me more aware of my reality. I believe in hard work. I dont believe in "cant". I can. I am. I am not- a revolutionary, and to say I am would slight the definition of one and insult those true revolutionaries who have laid their life on the line in the pursuit of change, freedom, and absolute truth. I am a work in progress, struggling with self, and striving to be "right" so that I can contribute my peace/piece to humanity, in the effort of creating a complete and working whole. Im just like you and nothing like you. Eye am a beautiful contradiction, a human be.ing.who has been blessed to discover the power of art, sound, words and use them as a means of liberation. imani bilal. the word(s) of one who has FAITH. striving to live up to my name. doing what i love.sincerely.
