About Me — Rashida

Professional athlete, writer, traveler. Who am I?

Author’s Image

I am an athlete, for over 24 years now. A black and white, mixed-race American who plays soccer in other countries and gets paid to do it.

I am a writer. An entrepreneur I guess (even though sometimes I feel more like an imposter).

A daughter to divorced parents who constantly argued about money but did the best they could.

An oldest sister who lost her little brother and buried some family secrets with him.

My Brother Died at 19. Here’s What His Loss Taught Me.

A traveler and adventurer, eager to explore the world and break monotony.

A 29-year-old Wisconsinite terrified of turning 30.

A mild introvert with a short fuse.

A curly-haired, highly determined, and feisty feminist.

I am both confident in my abilities and constantly questioning myself.

I am so many things.

But who am I?
