★ ━ ( kofi siriboe, cismale, he/him ) ━ ★ the other day i ran into KAREEM SALIA. it’s funny because i was just thinking about how the TWENTY-ON YEAR OLD’s birthday was on 01/29 and how the last time i saw him, KAREEM was DRIVEN, CALM & COURAGEOUS, but could also be IRRESPONSIBLE, IMPULSIVE, & CRITICAL. anyway, he has been living in THE NORTHWEST DISTRICT for FOUR YEARS & currently works as a SENIOR/BASKETBALL PLAYER AT PORTLAND STATE. ━ ( ooc: ari, 24, est, they/them )
wassup familia !!! it’s ari here with this cutie. here’s a few things i’ve thought for him so far, all in development but he’s hella open for any sort of connects !! <33
About Kareem:
Born and raised in Newark, NJ. The youngest of two siblings. He has an older brother.
Raised by a single father. His mother left them when they were young. So it was just the three boysss all his life. But his dad is the best and so is his brother he got lucky.
They were both basically his coaches. he’s been a basketball star since he was in elementary school. he has a killer 3 point shot and he’s a total team player. His father was insistent on his skills never going to his head.
Got a full ride to Portland State and as much as he hated moving so far from home, money is money, honey.
An injury his junior year of HS prevented him from being Division I but he’s come to peace with that over the years. He knows he won’t go pro so he’s super focused on his education.
He’s an Africana Studies and History double major. He loves to read and have long af convos but the boy does love to party.
gettin it on w/ @genevieve--m on the DL 😏
UHHH thats what i have rn, more to come as i think of it <333
