RIMA

i’m ready to accept everything god’s been trying to tell me.

he should be increasingly excited to have you — not occasionally afraid to lose you. - how you’ll know.

everything you need, you already have within you.

9.15.13 | 3:42 AM I want to do big things, to change lives, and sometimes I think I'm crazy for having this undying belief in myself. But then again, what makes me different from the people who have? Maybe they're crazy too, but in that case, crazy is what I ought to be.

what you actually need, you already have. 🧿

idk who needs to hear this but... you need to stop friend zoning that winning business idea. 🐸☕️

every day, I ask myself this one game changing question: "how are you adding value?"

your brand is like your reputation. we all have one. the question is: have you been intentional about it?

idk who needs to hear this but.... there’s no Z in Muslim.

Meet Amulet, Marvel’s first Arab American superhero ✨

speechless.

i was brought to tears by Marvel’s Fadi Fadlalah @saladinahmed 🙏🏼🙏🏼 my name is Rima Fadlallah. I’m also from Dearborn. i run a podcast called Dearborn Girl that highlights Arab women in our community. i would love to share some ideas with you.

Another one I’ve been running back through in anticipation of season 3 is Dearborn Girl (@proudlyadg) and it’s really awesome to hear stories and lives and conversations of all these awesome and influential Dearborn women:

2019 was not a feel-good year for me. despite the COUNTLESS blessings that rained down on me, this year was filled with growing pains, uncomfortable tests, dead-ends, my own broken promises, & more tears than i’ve ever shed. i’m convinced 2020 is the year i reap what i sow.

we are finishing things we start in 2020.

we’re not bringing any socks with holes in em into 2020. period.

in 2019, i learned to believe God when He showed me who i am (in all my beauty, power & grace). 2020 i’ll learn to walk in it.

i interviewed over 30 high school kids in Dearborn over the past month. not 1 of them could give an ex. of POSITIVE mainstream media representation of Arabs/Muslims. we live in an enclave where we feel affirmed, but i don't think we realize how much this hatred impacts us truly
