HI I'M LANA.
I like the Morocco, the beach, the France, and the sweets.
Chicago is my domain. I'm a hypocrite and I don't like making an effort.

“I am a Muslim and a woman and if I’m trying to make clear the role of the Moroccan and Muslim woman, that we are not just confined and sitting in one corner, that has nothing to do with your faith and religion. It is almost fate for me. It’s my duty and my passion to show another facet of Arab women, the real Arab women to the Western world and the world in general. We are very strong, we’re human beings and we have our own personality on our own. We want to be seen like that. We don’t want this projection of the Western world or Islamic culture on us from both sides. We just want to be seen as human beings.”

So relevant to everything for me right now. Everything. Might be meeting Lalla Essaydi in 2 weeks for a research project.
