A.J. (Ajeenah) in the City!

Ajeenah currently resides in Washington, DC working as an Administrative Assistant for JBG Rosenfeld Retail- a Retail Real Estate Firm in Chevy Chase, MD in the D.C. Metro area. It has been almost 3.5 years since I have relocated from California to the East Coast. I could have not survived without the support of my Family. Sounds cliché, but my two most memorable times of 2009 occurred while being surrounded by family members from both coasts. The first happened during the inauguration weekend of President Barak Obama in which my mother Katherine Shakir traveled from Los Angeles to join my birthday celebration of 25 years on January 17th in addition to sitting with cousin Wendy and I on the National Mall to view the historical inauguration of the First Black President. The second occurred during the graduation weekend of Todd Bailey from Grad School in May in which both of my parents, one of my sisters Sarah, and three of four (one which was unborn at the time) niece and nephews visited DC to celebrate.
