About the Job
LEAD, 18-25 YEARS OLD, FEMALE: A woman whose life revolves around her religion. She keeps to herself and enjoys her solitude. Although she is not the most perfect religious person, she makes every effort to live a virtuous life and serve her Lord by refraining from Haram practices. But Amira's one "flaw" is that she finds it difficult to wear the hijab, mostly due to pressure from her family, which makes her feel her efforts are in vain.
NOTE: Looking for someone with an understanding of what it means to be religious, understands Islam, AND/OR has grown up within a community of Islam.
