Amina had always been artistic and enjoyed art class as a child and in her teens. It wasn't until high school when she began to explore that venue more. It was always thru art that she expressed herself best. It has only been recently that she has decided to explore those options once more and take a new look into those artistic possibilities. In writing poetry, her world changed. She enjoyed it so much that for some time, it was all she concentrated in life. She has never looked back. Amina also makes her own jewelry and is hoping to sell those pieces in the near future.
