What inspired your most recent tattoo?

Oh, my latest tattoo holds such a tender story. It’s inspired by my sweet two-year-old son, Mazen. I chose to blend the flower from his birth month with mine, a little way to keep our bond close to my heart, especially through the tough days.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

If my ink could talk, it’d share the heartfelt tale of a strong, determined woman who’s faced so much, yet always stays true to her authentic self.Sometimes it’s been a struggle, but I’m still here accepting that the journey is worth more than the destination.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I’m working so hard to graduate nursing school as an LPN in May 2025. It’s been an emotional ride with all the challenges, but life is about the obstacles that we face and overcome. That $25,000 would mean everything to me, giving me a chance to go back for my RN degree and keep pushing forward in order to give my son the life he deserves.
