Hi! so it's Tuscany again.
So today and I decided to talk about being a minority within a minority
so let you know, I am an american convert and
that has a lot of it's own problems that people are always aware of.
So I thought I'd make a video about some of the things that I go through.
For instance, one of the things that I struggle with right now the most
is finding a job. I find people that are
much more under-educated or
you know, less friendly.
I don't know how to say it. I wanna call it less job-worthy
than me they'd get good jobs that I applied for.
I'm used to a lot of people coming up to me and saying
"Tuscany, we really like you but
you're very unique and we just don't have a place for that."
Yeah. I get it! Okay, I look different and that's fine.
hmmm is this light too bright?
Anyway!
So...
yeah this is a really hard topic for me to talk about because it really
really hurts. I chose to wear hijab immediately
without thinking about how
other people were going to perceive it. I just
figured, you know, this is something I would do for God.
because nuns do it all the time so I didn't think I'd have to assume anything
about anyone orr how I was going to be treated because nuns are treated very well
for their
for this strict adherance to what God requires but it's not like that for me
and it really hurts. It hurts a lot.
Um.
I have applied to hundreds and hundreds of jobs over the last
year, have been employed three times,
and um, if you're wondering what's on my hand, it's bridal henna.
*laughs*
yeah I've been employed three times
The first job was at a fast food place owned by an Arab man and i really
didn't appreciate how he treated me
So I left after a month. I'll be honest. He was not nice.
it was the point where he called me illiterally in front of all the customers.
I didn't appreciate that so I moved on.
I found telecommunications job today absolutely loved and adored
If I could
say anything about it I would say that I think a day off every two
weeks and that was awful!
I was clearly young, dumb, and stupid because
it was my first full-time job and I don't think I took it seriously
I really didn't I just figured it would be more jobs okay
don't know why I assumed that.
then I got hired on here at the local university
as a custodian and that was awful.
I made only .55 more cents per hour but I thought to be worth it because I lived
alone
I ended up getting fired because the woman thought I was a jihadist.
and would tell me to my face quite often that she wanted get me fired and she got her way.
She got her way on the ninetieth day thanks to Indiana's right to work law.
I was fired because I didn't get it fit in with the workplace
I'm a little better about it I'll be honest
because I was very friendly I
was in perfect synchrony because I don't leave
does my purse custodial job so there was a lot of learning and it took me
most about three months to learn how to properly
cleaning commercial building earn
and ever since they've been fired
I really have really struggled my husband works as a barista us to make
$7.25 an hour
he's not even full-time I don't work because
I've been trying a pink really trying you know
really I really do one word still
hopefully problem will get a job soon
them because they're really it really sucks
traded talk to people in you tell them yeah I recently got married
the pleated scarf if they ask you only knew where can you stay
nowhere then employed in everyone he that's a look like
right now I don't use path on our
my husband left me we're just finding people
are ok and it is not only will hire me because they look funny
I'm a little better
but thats that's what are the major things I
fine her unfortunately
another thing is a lot of people say you
look American you look Middle Eastern
ago to Middle Eastern and I see you lose people say that I look a room
and they left they left in my face because they're but
he couldn't be more american if you try honestly
a little judsen and the whatevers this device this is all the time
you think people would pick up on the fact that I don't know if I was born and
I wouldn't talk like that
but whatever they look like a forty-two people
because they cover my hair know a lot of
well-placed just tell me and he just looked for me again I mean if you just
tried to be women again
curling a try how how do I tried to be more American I was born here
they live here I love living here I love being American I can honestly say that I
really do
they love the freedoms that we have right briefly during the armed forces
which I will talk about the next video
them a lot of people are surprised about that because a Muslim
because they look like the enemy any
her I mean
I really do I'm really glad to be american
it's just I wish my fellow Americans would be happy about me being a mere
kidnaper
delayed Samia
I grew up here in in the midwest and I'm
really love it they really do there's nothing worse feeling than them
growing beans and corn and everyone I say they're
then it's true sometimes I just feel like FF
tattooed on my forehead I do live here and i like it
them
yeah selma hmmm
I'm gonna call it a wrap because other as they can go on for ever and ever and
ever and ever about being a minority in a minority
point is a lot of americans think I look funny love him saying
we know you look funny so where do we go
where do I go I don't know plan really know
man I N ski trip and I keep trying to find you know
solace in people like Gandhi you really can't get a lot of things alone
I do which bigger things and I'm going Dale true friends tell us a lot of the
jewish people on the holocaust because they would do hard things and I go
through
and it really is depressing as it is it does help me
because everyone's at not the first person to go do something that won't
have to be hard
should do keep it is Jonah realize in doing this for God
sure he knew that that we have religious freedoms to people
religious freedoms but the boom
my feeling could make the system tray with paid admission
him
any Andrew their I'll see you guys later
