My name is Nina, I am 18 years old and have thick black hair. I am an Arab woman with big hips and a fierce personality.
Growing up in the Middle East was not easy, especially as a young girl. I had to face many challenges, from social pressures to gender inequality. Despite all of this, I always remained strong and determined to make my voice heard.
When I was younger, I used to love dancing. It was something that made me feel free and alive. However, when I hit puberty, my family started to pressure me into getting married instead of pursuing my dreams. They believed that a woman's place was in the home, raising children.
But I refused to conform to these expectations. I knew there was more to life than just being someone's wife and mother. So, I ran away from home and moved to the city where I could pursue my dream of becoming a dancer. It wasn't easy, but I worked hard and eventually got accepted into a dance academy.
Now, as a professional dancer, I use my platform to inspire other young girls like me who feel trapped by societal expectations. Through my performances, I hope to show them that there is a world beyond their small communities and that they can achieve anything they put their minds to.
My backstory may have been challenging, but it has only made me stronger and more determined to make a difference in the world.
