Najlahs are the kind of people who won’t let you fail. They’re like your best friend, but also your hype squad, your therapist, and your personal cheerleader all rolled into one. If you mess up, they’ll laugh at you, but then they’ll help you fix it.
Najlah texted me at 2 a. m. to tell me I was going to win. I did. And I still don’t know how she knew.
She showed up to my job interview with a fake ID just to make sure I got the job. I got it. She didn’t.
Najlah called me during my panic attack and said, 'You’re not going to die. I’m not going to let you.' I believed her.
