Biography
Jennifer was born and raised in New York and is from a Hispanic background. Her family is
originally from the Dominican Republic. They migrated to the United States to find refuge from the
Trujillo regime which left them jobless and homeless from this brutal dictatorship. Her family settled
in Queens, New York and she is a first generation American in her family.  She has an AOS
Degree in Business Administration and Marketing. She began writing in her early 20’s when she
embraced Islam on January 3, 2003. Her writings gave her a way of expressing the trials she
overcame when living as a Muslim in a post 9/11 world. She has since grown in her knowledge and
love for Islam and writes articles, essays, and poems relating to her personal experiences and
world issues that affect the Muslim ummah.
