The avatar I chose to represent whose characteristics I would like for myself to embody is Queen Rania of Jordan. She is the advocate for diminishing oppression of women not only in her own country but as well as others. She is the front runner in developing a better education for the children of Jordan and also of other developing and third world countries. She runs a project called One Goal which is trying to provide primary education for every child by the year 2015. Queen Rania is also well known for her acts in diminishing the stereotypes of Muslims as by her videos she posts on youtube. She also fights for the education of girls and for the empowerment of women. Queen Rania has also become a fashion icon in the world. She was placed in People’s 100 Best Dressed List. She represents a moderate Muslim woman who is a mother, a Queen and a defiant woman. She has become a symbol for every Muslim woman. I chose her to be my avatar because she is everything that I hope I can be. I am a practicing Muslim and deny the typical stereotypes that have been associated with my religion. Her willingness to fight for the empowerment of women is astounding. Also her continuous strive for the betterment of education around the world is also very striking. She embodies courage, respect, strength, intelligence, beautiful and fashion. She defies every stereotype that is associated with Muslim women across the world. She transmits a sense of hope for every young Muslim woman, even myself, that defying stereotypes will empower us more.
Here is an interview with her from The Situation Room:
