My parents are really conservative. My dad is Muslim, and my mom is the most conservative woman you’ve ever met. They’re very aristocratic in the most quaint suburban way.

I live in my imagination, so sometimes movies help me get lost. I feel like I’m in it.
SZASZA I was raised orthodox Muslim. Very sheltered, very conservative.
SZASZA I was a funky kid.
SZASZA I was a gymnast for 13 years, so I was heavy into sports.
SZASZA I just think I have too much anxiety to listen to music. Sometimes it feels like noise, and sometimes it’s so affecting that I can’t recover from it.
SZASZA I love folk. I love rap.
SZASZA I learned everything the hard way – like, literally, everything. I know that God does that to people that he has lessons for. I just wish that I had learned less extreme lessons.
SZASZA Wearing a hijab never made me feel any more conservative – it made me feel safe. Then, after 9/11, I became the butt of a joke on the playground, so I stopped wearing it. Kids can be really cruel when you’re the only black girl in your Girl Scout troop.
SZASZA I feel like when you say ‘activist,’ you have to have so much clarity, and I don’t always necessarily have so much clarity on how I want to help others, I just have this weird, deep urge to help other people. I’m trying to let God guide my body and use it as whatever kind of vehicle or vessel it needs to be.
SZASZA It starts with trusting yourself, even if people are telling you you’re too young to trust yourself.
SZASZA I want to excel at something, to follow through, to not be afraid.
SZASZA Mental health and family above all things. Period.
SZASZA I don’t listen to my own music, so to me, it’s awesome that people really like it. I was afraid that it wouldn’t connect with everyone. I’m more appreciative than anything. SZA
SZASZA I have an abundant amount of love in my life, and I’m grateful for that.
SZASZA I made this and have too much to say about it.
SZASZA I wasn’t popular in high school; I had no friends.

Ivanka TrumpIvanka Trump My father values talent. He recognizes real knowledge and skill when he finds it. He is color blind and gender neutral. He hires the best person for the job, period.
