nicole queen
i'm from dallas
rates knowing thing
i converted to islam mini of two thousand seven
well uh...
notlong had not long ago
that he is not
weebly
i was baptised sandwiches christian
which is matter at baptism
wrote
what was then
i was extremely laughlin before that uh...
i went through a phase just a couple of years ago well this test wiki
for something
different you know and
the religion the benches for the two neighbors guy do you know i went to
church
for the
cuts i went for a period where
we have things there really is
this could happen
when i get a state cicada when i see him
all these questions wintertime minds ends
i was drinking i was doing all of the things like typically an american we do
add my work wasn't nightclubs um... photographing there was a lot of things
that i was going through
that we're just not with god and i needed something to change
friends told me about status in different lectures are needed to
and i started taking a look listening
all about islam uh...
and i became addicted to like i would stay up until five o'clock in the
morning on my computer
watching lectures about americans who it converted to islam and what they were
going through and it seems like everyone was saying the same things that i was
going through in the same things that i felt
so i thought like i could relate to that
like these people were christian before they wear facing these hunters and they
found something that gave them the answers they were looking for
and that's when i wanna wayne answers i didn't want to just
someone to tell me what to believe that wanting to know why
and how is that can affect my life and how do i put that into my life
cell at found that in this on and i studied it for a while before actually
went to classes at the mass editing
more and more obvious surrounding myself with it with the books and everything
and so
uh...
when i said my so hot i just that i never looked back
i'd changed everything
my friends
my wardrobe i had my job everything
unchanged and media lianne
it was a hard because i understood why it was the right thing to do
and uh... i've been thankful adverse affects me
thankful to god like session of the storm
my parents add it's been hard hit
you know with my parents were still kind of going through a holiday
you know then getting used to it and
i went to my mom and i told her that i was studying islam before i converted
that i was interested in it and i think she died
out maybe it's just a phase i don't think she's really getting the red bank
when i told her
i've converted to islam if she realized you know i was serious about it by one
good thing is that she was watching the go through the changes so that she saw
me
before in housewife less and then she saw me after
changing she saw me dressing differently she saw me
stopping all day harm things that i was doing and that she realized like
when i converted to respond i was closer to god and that's what made her happy
you know if that's what brought him closer to god that she was happy
so it's become easier uh... when she realizes this
was in a reason and not at all because the added this on my own and i went two
classes on my own i studied
everything on my own
end so
i can't say it was because of another man
i know some calls that i've done that and if you don't village in years
it's not gonna stay there i've seen girls coming down from the song because
they wanted to be with someone
so they converted and then afterwards they left the salon uh... if he didn't
want her ordered you know i've seen a lot of three
feel that they've been to where the head job and everything has to be in your
heart
reports not going to stay there so
amplitude
they were not
the cvs games
what they've done
we'll see
it wasn't
samples
and
of course i had uh... a lot of friends from my previous life with before a
converted to you know always wanting to go out to
the clubs in different things to be at our age you know being single and
everything
and it when they saw me going through the changes because it didn't happen
overnight it leaves you know i went through transitions add embracing it
more and more and they they watch this because i was very open about it with
all of my friends and me sarnia lesson last because i was in in those clubs
anymore and i wasn't doing those things and then i would talk to them about
what i was doing with my new life they can i felt like
while you know she's moving on with her life and we're still doing the same also
acted so that my friends we better understand what i was going or you and
why i wasn't really around anymore i uh... i wrote a blog about it but it
online
and invited a bunch of people to go on a real reading an we had a lots and lots
of girls hw work following any religion who were just kind of living their life
in doing whatever they wanted in they when im in the red abound
my life changes and what was the foreign who i was out there in
tons and tons of girls hugo our injuring went on there and they read this blog a
neighborhood
that they were crime in the reading that they felt like it hurts them in that
they looked at their life in prior you know i need to make changes to your cell
handle at it you know
the more that i talked to people about what i was before he came in after
the more that they look at themselves and they need to make inouye activity
that say that
so
my friends angry still like that in their respective the decision i made
evenings that challenges
with has stopped and working
the clubs at their first photograph an insight had salem find something
different you know i different area and at when i started to where the hit job i
noticed some changes that ac
how is interviewing more often than normal
for jobs bags
and
now and that is all kind of than squared away honestly i just anette address nine
side going to be interview and i said in that
i have the skills that i have been experience i have everything
and i haven't you really have a problem with it so far you know a handle as so
and but yeah i it's different you know
as an american uh...
you get
a lot of questions but it just opens up opportunities for dole and when i go
around
even around town people will stop being asked me
uh... arima fun you know because they can tell on the merrick and then i'll
just take the time to tell them that i am n i'd tell them why and it makes them
think well
