Adrianna Yariqa

Describing her style as simple and elegant, Aqilah proudly wears a jacket made by one of her friends, and knows that colour is just her thing. “I play about with colours because they make me look younger and more radiant than the usual black.” Fresh-faced and bubbly, Aqilah is also inspiringly mature, and springs this gem of wisdom upon us when asked about the one thing she’s learnt from her time at work. “Own your mistakes and then move on. Don’t try to hide it or its impact, and don’t blame others. Take responsibility and then stop obsessing over it. It happened, you learned from it, and you’re past it.” If she weren’t working in her current profession, Aqilah would love to pursue photojournalism. “I love to take photos of people and places,” she says. “I take photos because it reminds me of the beauty there is in little things. It forces me to see something in a new way, and by doing that I am opened up to a wider view of all things in this world.” Luckily for Aqilah, then, that her work allows her to travel, so she can somewhat pursue this passion, although travelling does mean less time spent with her loved ones. A believer in suffering now, and enjoying later on, Aqilah is her own personal cheerleader. “I may fall a lot of times, but I always stand back up. I don’t give up!”
