Dear Teacher Najmah,

A huge thank you for your hard work in teaching us for these past few months. You have put in a lot of effort to make us understand the hard bits of our syllabus by giving extra classwork, and even have sacrificed your extra time with us and I really, really, really appreciate it.

You motivate us a lot, putting the right amount of pressure on us when it comes to completing tasks that I understand is for our best interests.

Last year’s end of year exam result wasn’t what we all had hoped for, and we are aware that is a reflection of whether we had tried our best or otherwise. My peers and I are aware of our mistakes and striving, trying for better. InsyaAllah, With your help and guidance for these two years, I'm hoping to get a satisfying grades for economics and make you proud of us!

See you around miss!

Nicole Najmah Abraham aka "Najmah53" a spoken word artist, motivational speaker, writer, radio personality, event promoter and entrepreneur. She is a proud New York native representing Brooklyn, New York who started writing short poems at the age of 8. By age 11, her love of hip hop culture, lead her to start rapping and doing graffiti. When her family moved to South Carolina, she continued to hone her artistic and lyrical skills. By high school she was rapping in talent shows, on the local radio stations and in clubs.

At age 17, after returning to New York, Najmah53 was offered a recording deal and an opportunity to be the hip hop member of an R&B female group touring Europe. This also meant changing her image to fit in with the current trends of wearing hair weaves, fake nails, short skirts and selling sex. She refused to compromise who she was and quickly turned down the deal. Najmah53 eventually decided to give up the headaches of the mainstream hip hop industry.

After her conversion to Islam, she started to write more positive verses and spiritually-conscious poetry. She quickly began getting invited to colleges to tell her story and share her thought-provoking pieces tackling difficult subjects like racism, sexism, female body image, bullying, and Islamophobia to name a few.
