Before converting to Islam, Lujan studied screen writing and worked in the TV and film industry with countless talents such as film director Spike Lee, Wesley Snipes, Mary J. Blige, and Grand Puba, . After obtaining an MA in the late 90’s Lujan became a professor and nationally known multi-lingual spoken-word poet, a style of performance poetry categorized in the hip-hop genre.

“As a poet and teacher, I used my knowledge of hip-hop to bridge the gap between what my students knew - hip-hop - and what I wanted them to learn, poetry.”

Now living in Morocco, Lujan unites her love of art, poetry, education and people. She splits her time as an Educational Director and CEO of her dream venture, Hijabi Couture, a clothing company that meets the needs of today's modern woman.

“I’m pleased that through Hijabi Couture we are able to express my passion for developing creative ways to educate.
