Makida ArshiMakida Arshi is both an author and a full-time nurse from Virginia. She is of Ethiopian descent and lives with her husband, Dr. Ismael Yussuf, and her three wonderful daughters Hira, Nina, and Ayah.She has always struggled with the societal expectatins of women. At certain points, she has had to make the choice between working, staying at home to look after her children . . . or both! In making those choices, she has often found that whichever one she made, there would always be some part of society that would have a problem with it. Makida hopes to be instrumental in dismantling such expectations of women across the world. This is why she saw the need to write a book to encourage young readers, girls in particular, that it is OK to be what they choose to be as long as they are happy doing it, to embrace who they are and live their truth.
