Much like my digital avatar featured in this new column, I gaze on with a thankful heart and much hope for the year ahead. It is my firm intent and resolve to make the most of this gift and influence bestowed upon me. There are three key areas of focus which I will be dedicated to during this reign: If you have any suggestions on noble causes you feel truly deserve much needed support, and if you would like to contribute to the organizations we will be working with whether it be in kind/time or donation of any meaningful form please do join us in our humble efforts to make a small yet significant difference wherever possible Insha-Allah (God Willing). Indeed, collaboration and unity can only amplify and exemplify our efforts! Covered Tribe, I hope you shine this year! I wish for each sister reading this to truly grow and glow, to make positive changes not only to your own life but to those less fortunate who could really do with an encouraging word or show of support. May this year be memorable, may it be blessed and may you flourish and thrive to even greater heights than you had ever imagined! With Love and Light ,
