Hi, I am Malinah.
I am an outspoken teenager who is a strong self-advocate. I am a vocal person. I like to express how I am feeling and communicate what is on my mind.
I love listening to music and dancing. I love all types of music, except country. I enjoy basketball and volleyball. My favorite basketball team is the Lakers.
When I grow up, I’d like to be a mentor and offer support to young girls.
My ideal family would be one who listens to me, allows me to have input on decisions made about my life, enjoys spending family time together doing things we all enjoy, is attentive and understanding, can be a go-to person and confidant during challenging times, allows me to express myself as a teenager, and respects my input and opinion.
