“In Urdu, my first name means Lullaby, and in Arabic my middle and last names mean Faith and Star. At the same time, I grew up in a white household whose predominant religions were Latter Day Saints and Judaism. This is not an uncommon story for mixed-race and multicultural individuals, who can sometimes struggle to understand and differentiate their own identity.”
