Compromise isn’t part of Rida’s vocabulary. If you aren’t privileged enough to be a part of her trusted circle then you’ve got to raise your standards – this is an exclusive club! If you were in her care you would expect to see her go the extra mile to fix your problems, you would see her create order from chaos with self-control and composure and she wouldn’t be afraid to tell you how it is if tensions were fraught.

Rida cares for the Muslim community she is part of, but just like everything else in her life, she won’t let it rule her if she doesn’t want it to. Her life is her life and if that involves a night on the tiles and a blazing hangover the next morning then that is how she has willed it to be. However if she loses control then she freefalls. If someone in her care dies then it cuts her like a knife and she can harbour this feeling intensely (although she would never admit to this).

Rida is a community in herself but she can sometimes feel alone in the middle, rarely allowing the people around her to understand her fully. This loneliness she protects just as fiercely as the people she deems worthy of her loyalty and love.
