- Getting to know me.
Meet Rahmatulai Iyatunde Mahdi better known as “RAHIYA. The name “RAHIYA” is a fusion of the first three letters of my first and middle names. Please check the acronym below
As a Sierra Leonean Author, Blogger,and Writer, Rahiya Speaks on inspirational topics tailored for women of faith and daily living. Originally hailing from the picturesque Sierra Leone in West Africa, I’ve spent most of my adult life immersed in the vibrant heart of London, UK. Despite the distance, frequent visits to my hometown, “Freetown,” remain an integral part of my yearly routine. With a passion for travel and a penchant for collecting “fridge magnets” from every destination, I love exploring diverse places and cultures.
Family is paramount in my life, and my role as a mother to a beautiful daughter and many other children in my tribe brings immense joy. Behind the lens, I capture moments and scenery, helping people build lasting memories.
My true happy space is the solitude of my creative zone, where my passion for writing blossomed. Encouragement and positive feedback from friends and family fuelled my dedication to sharing posts and stories.
On this blog, Rahiya aims to inspire an atmosphere of faith, positive mindset, and motivation. Through shared experiences, thoughts, and stories, the goal is to encourage women and others on their faith walk, motivating them to become better versions of themselves.
RAHIYA is not just a name; at its core it stands for Revealing Authentic Hidden Ideas Yearning Activation. Join me on this journey, and let’s strive to be the best versions of ourselves, setting the foundation for a great start and purposeful living.
