Three Words to Describe You: Independent, Intellegent, & Outspoken

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: Shii Ann Huang, she was a minority who was raised very differently from the rest of her tribe, but still managed to prove that she was a strong-willed, intelligent girl who was able to carry and articulate herself with dignity. I believe we also share a particular dislike for ignorant, 'stupid, stupid, people' as she would say.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: To show women who were raised in a culture similar to mine that women do not have to  be surpressed. We are just as intelligent, strong, and confident as the men in our society. An intelligent, strong-willed, arabic woman has never gotten to showcase her ability on reality television, and I would love to be the first!

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I am the most stubborn woman you will ever meet, I do not quit until the job is done. I am not satisfied until I've achieved what I've set out to do, and .I am prepared to survive this!

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: As a motivational speaker, I know how to lead and motivate a group of people. In addition, I'm intelligent and well-cultured and should be relatable to a number of people on my tribe. In addition, it's my dream to be the first Arabic to win Survivor, to prove that a woman is capable of doing whatever a man is capable of doing not just in my culture, but around the world.
