As Naz grew up, she reflected the rebellious nature of the city she called home. As an adolescent, Naz felt confined, wanting more out of life and out of the violent relationship she was in. Naz yearned for a chance at an extraordinary life but felt that it was far out of her reach. The struggles continued, and she had to find a way to keep her hope alive. A hope that turned into a goal, a goal to reach America.
