Meet Radeyah Ali, Social Media Marketing Specialist -- Instagram




Tell our readers a little bit about yourself. We want to get to know you better!
I'm 22 years old and I have a passion for reading and writing. I have two kittens, Nala and Freya, and they bring me more happiness than humans do! I am generally a sociable person and I like to meet new people and make new friends. I'm constantly growing and changing as I discover who I am and figure out the person that I want to become. I am a Muslim and my Islam is peaceful, and I just wish everyone could see the beauty of my way of life, instead of the negative fallacies reported in the media. 

What’s it been like volunteering for Rock & Roll Saved My Soul? What is your favorite thing about it? 
It's been amazing! I've recently joined the team and it has really been enjoyable thus far. I love that we get to reach out to people and help brighten their day. My favourite thing about volunteering is knowing that all the work we put in will benefit one cause or the other in the end. That's really fulfilling for me. I am contributing to the RRSMS Instagram account and I hope that I can make a positive contribution towards growing RRSMS! I'm really really glad I decided to volunteer! 


What made you want to join the Rock & Roll Saved My Soul team?
I joined because I saw a post that Kate made about needing volunteers and I immediately knew that this would be something that I'd want to do. My only concern was why I hadn't volunteered earlier! 

Who are some of your favorite bands?  Favorite album(s)/song(s)?
I don't really have an absolute favourite, but I do enjoy Little Mix, Linkin Park and the likes. 
I also can't pinpoint one favourite song, but I do love Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield. I also have a constantly evolving YouTube playlist with all of my favourites.  

If you’ve been to a concert, which was the most memorable? Feel free to share any stories with us!
I think the last concert I would have gone to would have been for some local artists. I did go to an ABBA concert recently as well. It was really lovely. The costumes were amazing! 

If you could go on tour with one band for a month, which band would you choose and why?
I wouldn't choose a band, I would choose Avril Lavigne! 

Are you a writer or musician? What genre? Where can we find out more about your writing or music?
I'm a writer who wishes she was a musician! I tried to learn to play the piano before and it was lovely, but I never continued it. 
I write both fiction and non-fiction. You can see all of my work thus far on my Facebook Page: R.H. Ali and on my blog: www.exploringthemindblog.wordpress.com

Anything you’d like to add?
I'd just like to say thank you to Kate for all that she does and for the opportunity to volunteer with RRSMS. She's really an amazing human being and I love her dedication and commitment to all of her projects. Thanks Kate!

Drug Use in High School and College

Image
Drug use and experimentation tend to proliferate on college campuses. For those who can afford this experience, campuses are often a sanctuary for drug use. In high school, drinking alcohol was my only experience with substance use. Right before college, I was required to partake in an online program about alcohol – one that demonstrated how to minimize harms associated with drinking, such as not drinking if you are planning on driving, staying well hydrated, eating before you drink, knowing how many alcoholic beverages you’ve had, or spacing out the drinks you are already consuming. These strategies help to keep people safe and prevent deaths, and are referred to as harm reduction. In my freshman year, I found myself in a position where drugs of all kinds were almost literally falling into my lap. How did this happen? I was encountering drugs I had never even heard of left and right, and with the emergence of online drug markets, it could be as easy as shopping on Amazon. I ...

National Aunt and Uncle Day

Image
National Aunt and Uncle’s Day on July 26th honors a special set of relatives we look up to throughout our lives. During holidays, family events and sometimes sleepovers, aunts and uncles often hold an extraordinary place in our hearts. They fill our lives with fun, laughter, love and incredible memories.   This holiday provides an opportunity to spend time with our parents’ siblings we trusted and leaned on growing up.  It would be an excellent time to get out the old photo albums. Look through the pictures, and relive the memories of earlier days around the Christmas tree or at the 4th of July picnic or maybe at the beach vacation that included those special aunts and uncles in your life. Get together with your relatives and create new memories. Remind them of all the reasons you enjoy having them in your life. Celebrate the lessons they’ve taught you and share them with the next generation.  Another way to celebrate the day is by documenting family me...
