Reema is a BS Economics student at University of the Philippines Los Baños and a writer who loves to pen down her thoughts in a spiritual panorama. As a third culture kid, she spent most of her formative years in the Middle East, shaped by her parents’ multicultural peripatetic spheres. She is actively involved in leadership student organizations. Her fascination with Moro identity has recently prompted her to learn and explore more about the Bangsamoro identity struggle, as well as historical revisionism, and the utter lack of a holistic Islamic education on Bangsamoro. Her curiosity persists as a budding economist embarking on a journey to rethink economics in terms of humanity’s long-term goals rather than its long-established theories. Her frustrations with uncertain economic theories sparked her interest in exploring the gap between conventional and Islamic economic paradigms through a God-centered meta-framework. During her break, she loves to watch histories and documentaries, read blog and journal articles, and listen to podcasts while coloring some pages to ease her anxious soul. Her interests mainly revolve around Islamic economics, sustainable development, women’s economic empowerment, medieval Islamic history and sciences, community outreach, and productive discourses.

Maeisoon is a BS Psychology student at Mapúa Malayan Colleges Mindanao who grew up in the warm and sunny city of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Growing up an ethnically diverse daughter to immigrant parents, she has always sought her identity, sense of belonging, and opportunity, which fostered her to embark on a journey to unearth her passion and purpose. She is now an avid player of volleyball, an advocate for mental health and body positivity, and an artist who unravels her tangled thoughts on a blank canvas. When she is not playing on the court, speaking about self-awareness and acceptance, or browsing for art inspirations, she indulges in home cooking and baking, cafe hopping and hunting, and thrifting clothes. Amidst the circling thoughts in her mind, she cherishes her time alone and believes it to be as soothing as having company. Inquisitive a mind can be, a life-defining moment ensued when she discovered the mind and behavior of human nature in a medical and sociological context because it enthralled her to highlight and articulate an Islamically integrated perspective to Psychology, making it her purpose to educate and empower the ummah for the sake of Allah. Her interests mainly revolve around Islamic psychology, mental and physical wellness, spiritual journey, productivity, personal and leadership development, as well as coffee, food, graphic design, photography and film journaling.

Thus, she is persevering in being educated in this field in hopes that in the future, she can share her learnings and motivate other aspirants of accountancy to be at the forefront in making economic and social progress in our society.

Ameera is a BS Medical Technology student at Universidad de Zamboanga who spent a chunk of her youth in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Her early years in Jeddah were so ingrained in her soul fibers that she even took its cultural baggage with her when she moved to the Philippines. For her, spending her free time at a cafe shop while reading a book and drinking her favorite iced coffee is like entering a sweet abyss that serenades her heart. In this globalizing world we live in nowadays, it is certain that knowledge expands exponentially as we learn and experience new things every day. From those experiencing new things is discovering the extraordinary microbial world that is not visible to the naked eye. It is wondrous to see how the richness of beauty stretches well beyond what people can see, and how there are worlds inside worlds of detail to be explored on a tiny scale. This stimulated her interest in learning more not just in the medical field, but also in the field of Islam, with the aim of helping to educate the ummah regarding the importance of healthcare. She believes that every aspiring medical practitioner should know the substantial contributions of medieval Islamic medicine in enhancing the understanding of the body's functions, the inclusion of female doctors, and the establishment of hospitals. Her interests mainly revolve around science, healthcare, self-help books, and volunteerism.
