My name is Jomana Toema, and I’m a 13-year-old proud young Muslim woman living in the Lone Star State! I am a student, a driven Martial Artist, a young activist, and a goofball. I love surrounding myself with the people I love the most: my beautiful family. I love reading, writing, or simply anything that lets my creative juices flow!
Lovely day
By: Jomana Toema
Hot and humid day
Bright, intense sun
Showering down at us
We laugh and play
Rolling around here and there
Laughter filling the air
Joyous faces, they don't care
Life's troubles
They are unaware
My Parents
Mom and dad
I want to let you know
My love for you will always grow
You taught me what was right and wrong
You helped me stand tall and strong
I always knew I can count on you
When each day brought something weird and new
Mom you never gave up on me
Because you knew I had so much more
Dad, you always were my inspiration
You were my strongest foundation
If you could look into my heart
quickly you would see
The special place you hold in there
and how much you mean to me
Mohamed Ali

Mohamed Ali Muhammad Ali was an African American heavyweight champion boxer and was one of the greatest sporting figures of the 20th century. Not only is he an outstanding heavyweight boxer, but Ali’s outspokenness on issues of race, religion, and politics also made him a controversial figure during his career. Being born as Cassius Clay Jr., Ali changed his name in 1964 after joining the religion of Islam. He publicly presented his religious beliefs, which was not always supported, and he broke the stereotypes of his religion and his race. Muhammad Ali has done a great deal towards the cause of racial inequality and injustice. Muhammad Ali used his time and fame to speak out against injustice and racism. Ali transformed himself from being a boxing champion to a champion of his people, speaking out against injustice and racial inequality. Many sportswriters and even some of Ali’s boxing rivals refused to address him by his new name, Muhammad Ali, during his career, and they continued to call him Cassius Clay. He replied to the haters, “I’m free to be what I want.” He always stood up, if not for himself, then for the people around him. Ali was a proud Black Muslim figure, who is proud of his African heritage, and a positive example to all. He represented his religion well, and he set an example of racial pride for African Americans. He believed that “ethnic and religious diversity is proof of God's manifold beauty.” Some people honestly don’t know who the Muslims are. The only information they get is from breaking news stories, and let's be honest, the news can sometimes, if not always, be biased about Islam or just bring out the worst. Muhammad Ali informed them. He shows them that Islam is most definitely a peaceful religion through not only words but his actions. People are not afraid to ask questions, and that's one of the significant changes that Muhammad Ali helped accomplish. When people don't know the truth, they will continue to believe in stereotypes and become afraid of the unknown. Mohammed Ali was one of the great people who made a change in racial and religious discrimination. He broke the stereotypes of his religion and had pride in his race. He changed the way people think about his religion, my religion, and the religion of all the 1.8 billion proud Muslims that stand on this Earth today. “He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.” - Muhammad Ali
