Hi, I'm

— About Me

Hijabi. Full-blown geek. Here’s exactly how I do both.

I’m a 25-year-old hijabi geek in Southern California, and I’m here to show that you never have to choose between your faith and your fandom. Anime arcades in Murrieta. A real Hogwarts Express in Perris. Go-karting through Tokyo at midnight.

A woman wearing black sunglasses, a striped yellow and black shirt, and black pants, sitting on a bench, holding hands with a life-sized anime character statue of a male ninja from the anime Naruto, who is dressed in green and black, sitting on the bench. The background features a traditional Japanese-style window with white curtains, a white noren curtain with black Japanese characters, and a wooden sign with black characters. The ground is asphalt.

I go first.
Then I tell you everything.

In 2024 I took my most memorable international trip as a hijabi Muslim woman — 16 days across Japan, every halal restaurant researched, every prayer space scouted, every anime landmark mapped out in advance. I planned the entire thing from scratch with no template, no guide written for someone like me, and no blueprint to follow. I figured it out anyway.

I went go-karting under Tokyo Tower, ate halal wagyu, prayed at Kyoto Station, wore a kimono in Arashiyama, and stood in front of every anime landmark I'd dreamed about since I was a kid. And I documented all of it — not just the beautiful parts, but the practical stuff nobody talks about.

That trip became the foundation of everything here. The guide. The content. The community. And it's just the beginning.

Now I find the places worth going — anime arcades in Murrieta, Harry Potter trains in Perris, ancient Islamic palaces in Andalusia — and I document all of it so you don't have to figure it out alone.

Everything I create comes from something I've actually lived.

Authenticity

🌸

My audience isn't just a number. They're Muslim women, geeks and travelers who feel seen in my content — and that relationship is sacred to me.

Community

The hijab was never the ceiling. Skydiving, World Cups, solo travel, anime conventions — she does it anyway.
