Josephine Murray

 is a contestant from Survivor: Upolu.

Profile
Name (Age): Josephine Murray (41)

Tribe Designation: TBD

Current Residence: Caldwell, Idaho

Occupation: Journalist

Claim to Fame: Finding my way out of my devout Christian family and converting to Islamic faith, as well as being able to put up with the blatant Islamophobia I'm subjected to by the public and media without going insane.

Inspiration in Life: Malala Yousafzai, for all she's done in advocating for womens' rights in Islam. Hobbies: Cooking, writing and traveling

Pet Peeves: Islamophobia. People who think I'm a terrorist and will blow everything up just because I'm walking down the street with my bag; people who act incredibly shocked when I tell them my name. Ignorance in respect to the Islamic culture. If someone is rude about Islam or rude to me because of my faith I will not HESITATE to call them out on it.

3 Words to Describe You: Cunning, strong-willed, passionate

If You Could Have 3 Things on The Island What Would They Be and Why: The Quran (to practice my faith), a diary (to write down my thoughts) and some earmuffs to drown out the rain while I sleep.

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like:

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: To help bring awareness to the Islamic culture and change the public's conceptions about Muslims. Also for the fun... and the money, of course.

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: My love of traveling means I know my way around the outdoors and know how to adapt to survive.

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: Because I'm a cunning person who knows the perfect moment to strike and make big moves. One of the mistakes of Survivor is they make moves when it's unsafe to do so. I'll wait until it's safe.
