My name is Takilah Hasan and I’m 15 years old.  I attend Young Women Leadership Charter School on Chicago South Side.  I grew up in the Ida B. Wells Project on the south side of Chicago.  I’m the first born child.  I have 4 brothers and 4 sisters (on both sides).  My momma name is Talibah Hasan and my daddy name is Robert Patterson.  I love to go to parties and being with my friends.  That’s the life of Takilah.
