Olga Andriïva

I am a 24 year old revert from Ukraine. My ethnicity is Slavic. Living in UK for the last 5 years since I went here to study and then settled here. I am a permanent resident. I am also pretty conservative regarding my views on family gender dynamic and so on. I said my Shadada 2 years ago but I still have a long way towards being a proper muslimah. And of course as a revert I have sinful non Muslim past. So I understand that I may not be the first pick as a future wife. I am not oppose the idea of polygamy and ready to discuss it. Since I become a Muslim I am doing my best to avoid haram. I stopped casual dating and try to avoid mixed gatherings. Although it is hard for a woman in London who lives by herself -my family is in Ukraine and they are not Muslims. I am also veiled. But sadly - I have to appear in public without hijab occasionally. If I to relocate to a Muslim country for marriage - I will be fine with being veiled all the time. Niqab can be discussed but I do not feel completely comfortable wearing it now. I am working as designer. Specifically - I do drawings and 3d models for games and other software. In my free time I like to write creative fiction photography hiking reading books. I also like to study and cooking meals from different cultures. I am fluent in English Ukrainian and Russian. And currently learning French and Arabic. I am also like to listen music. I understand that it might not acceptable for someone. But if we will move forward with marriage - I am certainly willing to change some parts of my life to be a better wife.
