About Rashida

The past few years of my life have been challenging. My father suffered a stroke, my child faced long-term health issues, and my husband went through surgery. These experiences changed me deeply and taught me resilience, empathy, and compassion.
During this time, I also learned how important it is to be honest with myself and my body. I am currently learning self-acceptance not because everything is perfect, but because I respect who I am at this moment of my life. I continue to take care of my health and growth, while allowing myself kindness and patience.
I believe that beauty does not disappear during difficult periods. A woman can face challenges, change, and still shine. Through my participation in this competition, I want to remind women that no matter what they are going through, they deserve to feel beautiful, confident, and valuable and never forget themselves while caring for others.
