The Artist Aliwaley, by Laila Ali
Aliwaley is a 14 year old sister from Pakistan who contacted me recently in regards to helping
out in the magazine. I was absolutely blown away when I saw her work. I am sure you will all
agree that there is a lot of potential in her work. Alhamdolillah we have had an artist in our
midst and we are proud to present the work of Aliwaley.
