She is now a business owner, entrepreneur, and mother-of-one who has earned more than a million dollars through her beauty bar, called AFL.

Fatema now owns apartments in New York, Los Angeles, and Miami, and has a closet filled with Chanel bags costing an upwards of $22,000 and a slew of designer shoes worth an estimated total of $500,000 – but it was a hard road for her to get here. 

‘I came from nothing. I was homeless, I was hungry,’ she told Truly during a recent interview. 

‘I was in a refugee camp in a war. I never thought in a million years that I would be here today.

‘I lived in a freaking refugee camp. This is just such a dream come true, it really is a dream come true. I don’t even know how I got here. I worked really hard to get here.’ 

The mogul recalled growing up in the ‘hood’ in the Bronx, New York, after relocating to the United States with her family. And for years, she said she felt like an ‘outcast’ due to her background. 

‘Growing up as a Palestinian refugee was really hard, I’ll be honest with you. I never really fit fully in American culture and I never fit in fully with my culture,’ she explained. 

‘So I was always the outcast. That was always something I carried with me, like am I good enough? Will I ever be pretty enough? Will I ever be someone who fits in?

‘My family situation growing up, we didn’t have much but I’m very grateful for what my family was able to give me.’

However, Fatema said that watching her parents ‘struggle’ was ‘the key to her success.’ 

‘I saw the struggle with them and I said, “When I get bigger, when I grow up, I’m gonna not be like that, I’m gonna work hard,”‘ she continued.

‘I never wanted to struggle like they did. There was this deep rooted fire in my a** ever since I was younger to try to prove myself and I feel like that was the key to my success.

‘I always put in more effort than the next person because I had to prove myself to be here.’
