I am an activist and rapper from Afghanistan, and I use rap to speak out and help end child marriage.
I don't like high heels.
I like Eminem's style, and Missy Elliott. I really like M.I.A.
I saw my friends being beaten because they said no to child marriage.
I want to study law, become a lawyer, and work in Afghanistan for human rights.
In order to see truly where I am and where I want to go, I need to remember where I once was.
It means so much to me that my family went against our tradition for me.
Music reaches people in a way that simple spoken words just can't.
My dream has always been to inspire young girls to see their own power and follow big dreams and realize that they have potential.
The biggest change of my life was coming to America.
There is a great power in speaking your truth and standing for something important.
There was no giving up. Trying and trying. That's what I'm all about.
When I was being sold into marriage, it was hard to see a future for myself.
When I'm rapping, I become very emotional, and people can feel it through my face.
When my mother told me they have to sell me, I couldn't breathe; I couldn't speak.
