She added that there was never any pressure on her to convert and she spent several years doing a bit of research before making the decision to embrace Islam.

“Islam helped me find peace with those things and helped me stay on a good path, especially now that having a family, it's much more important to me.”
“When I was doing research on Islam, there were a lot of things that aligned with myself and my morals and I just knew that this was the beginning of my journey.”
“Then, I returned to Islam, my husband and I got married Islamically and a few years later, we started our own family.”
