My name is Haniyah Bey. I am a 19-year-old Black Muslim woman, passionate about using creativity to cultivate elevation for myself, my peers, and my community. I always had a drive to help people, which is why I wanted to be a child psychologist growing up. However, when I realized my passion for art, I knew I needed to find a way to help people in a career that would allow me to express my creativity. I reflected on my experience as a Muslim girl playing video games and never having the option to dress my characters in hijab or modest clothing that also looked cool. This lack of representation was normal to me until I realized that it does not have to be that way. My career goal now is to become a video game designer. I want to bring visibility to diverse groups of people and cultures, such as Black hijabi Muslims in the video game world—where they are heavily underrepresented or represented inaccurately, if at all. I plan to participate in internships, work on projects that will enhance my skills, and build my portfolio to prepare for my future career. Noticing a need for Muslim students to have an environment in which they can share and celebrate their culture and have a meaningful presence in the community, I founded my community college’s first Muslim Student Association (MSA). I had the honor of being president of both the MSA and the Black Student Association. In these roles, I had the opportunity to speak at college events and bring attention to the needs of my peers to initiate productive change. I also held two chair positions in my local NAACP Youth Council, and I now serve on the Board of Trustees at my alma mater. Being active in my college community has helped me evolve as a person and realize my passion for being proactive. I believe when people feel seen and welcome in spaces that are a large part of society, they are more inclined to offer their opinions and tap into their creativity. Just acknowledging that Muslims exist in the world of video games by implementing diverse wardrobes for characters could inspire a new generation of Muslim gamers to become video game designers, and lend their creative perspectives, talents, and expertise to develop new video games and technologies. Many Muslim women do not pursue creative careers because they do not feel many creative spaces are for them. When I was younger, it never occurred to me that I could be a video game designer because I did not have role models who looked like me in that field. With this in mind, I am dedicated to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in the world of video games and technology. I must rely on myself to be my own inspiration in the creative world, but I want to use my experiences, my skills, and my voice to change that for the Muslim women who will come after me.
