52 :: VoV Origins :: Ryan's Story :: Self Worth, Body Image and Eating Disorders

Amina and Sarah Said were the daughters of Tissie and Yaser Said. Their father, Yaser, was an Egyptian - American man who wanted his daughters to marry Muslim men. But, they had both fallen in love with non muslim boys, and they didn’t tell their father because they feared his reaction. This led to a lot of tension in the Said household. But it didn’t just stop there. Yaser would stalk the girls to try to learn their secrets. He would secretly record them with his video camera. This made them very uncomfortable, and for good reason. He had also abused them in the past, and threatened them into keeping quiet. They were desperate to start a new life, and their boyfriend’s had just recently proposed, but Yaser wasn’t going to let them go easily.
