Introduction- Tasmia Hasham

Hello my name is Tasmia and the first fact about me is that i’m Bengali. Being Bengali has become a huge part of me because of its culture. Growing up I didn’t appreciate my culture like I wish I had, I felt uncomfortable wearing my traditional clothing around other people and that was because I was mainly friends with white people so I thought it would be weird of me to ever wear traditional dresses. As I grew older I’ve learned to really appreciate my culture even though I still have a lot of learning to do. I’m really trying my best to embrace and incorporate my culture in my life more often. I’m proud to say that I’m comfortable with wearing my traditional dresses out in the public as well as educating my other friends about my culture.

Another thing to know about me is that I am the youngest in the family as well as the only girl. I have two older brothers who are my best friends, they have impacted me so much In a positive way because they have teached so many valuable lessons. I also know that if I ever needed to talk to anyone my brothers would gladly listen to me without any judgment and even though I don’t have a sister they truly try their best to understand in a female perspective for me which is something I really appreciate.

 Jermaine Lamarr Cole- also known as J Cole. I truly love this man, I love his music so much and anyone that knows me knows that. His music is something that I love listening to when I’m sad or happy because anytime I listen to him it’s just a vibe. He’s also someone that I look up to because of how inspirational he really is, throughout his whole career he’s shown me that if I want something then I should get it and that it requires a lot of hard work. 

I am a really outgoing person so being around people who are quiet makes me uncomfortable because then I get shy. But usually once I get to know you I am great vibes well at least I think so. I love trying new things and I’m really open-minded and accepting of others. Oh and I love Harry Potter and if you don’t then I don’t know what to say.

I also love shoes, I used to be obsessed with it in middle school but lost my interest in high school but about a year ago I started getting back into it and have been buying shoes since then which my mom is very mad about. But shoes are something that actually makes me happy which might sound weird but I’m happy that I’ve gotten back into it.
