HISTORY- AAMINA PRODIGY THE BLACK ALLEY CAT PURR CATT PURR CATT. HOW CAN YOU DESCRIBE HER THE FQ AMBASSADRESS OF PERFORMANCE WITH HANDS OF FIRE WHO GIVES THE CROWD WHAT THEY DESIRE. AAMINA STEPPED IN THE SCENE IN 1996 AS A BQ AND SCRATCHED AND CLAWED HER WAY THROUGH THE RANKS. BY 1998 AAMINA WAS A PHILADELPHIA FAVORITE INSPIRED BY NIAMBI AND PAUL KHAN. AAMINA WAS ONE OF THOSE PERFORMERS WHO WERE DRAMATIC AND HAD THAT CUNTIC ANITIC EDGE TO HER PERFORMANCE. SHE WOULD COME THROUGH WITH HER BOOTS AND GIVE THE GIRLS WHAT THEY WANT AS A KARAN ESPECIALLY DESTROYING THE CHANTS BEING A COMMENTATORS DREAM. BY MID 199 SHE WAS WALKING FQ PERFORMANCE COMING FROM THE 2ND GENERATION OF FQ PERFORMANCES FROM PHILLY NIAMBI, ANGEL, AND DEE DEE COMING FORM THE FIRST AND ALEXIS COMING FROM THE 2ND GENERATION. BY THE REVLON BALL 1999 AAMINA ACTUALLY WON OVER HER MOTHER NIAMBI THE PERSON WHO HELPED INSPIRE AND TAUGHT HER AND THE LAST BATTLE THAT NIGHT WAS HER AND SINIA WITH SINIA WINNING. AAMINA ALSO CAME WITH A WITCH DOCTOR PRODUCTION AT THE 1999 JOURDAN BALL LOSING TO ALEXIS. AAMINA NEVER TO BE BOTHERED WOULD TRAVEL TO NY AS A KARAN AND WOULD BATTLE YOLANDA, DEJA, JANESES AND MORE. IN PHILLY SHE WAS FINALLY ABLE TO SETTLE THE SCORE WITH YOLANDA AT LIL KEVIN AND NIAMBI MINIBALL AAMINA HAS ALSO BATTLED MEEKA. SHE HAD ALSO HAD SEVERAL BATTLES WITH SEXY LEXY HER FORMER HOUSE SISTER AND KIMA A FQ PERFORMER FROM PHILLY HAVE BATTLED COUNTLESS TIMES. ONE OF AAMINA'S STRONGEST POINTS IN HER PERFORMANCE IS HER HAND PERFORMANCE NOT JUST BEING BEAT TO BEAT SHE HAS AN UNCANNY ABILITY TO TELL A STORY WITH RHYTHM AND SHADE. ALSO POSSESSING A NASTY CATWALK AAMINA IS THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE OF HER PERFORMANCE! HER CHARACTER IS OF A WELL SPOKEN, SWEET, CARING NATURE WHERE HER BALLROOM FLOOR IS HER POLAR OPPOSITE THAT IS WHERE SHE UNLEASHES HER FRUSTRATIONS. AAMINA WOULD ALSO BECOME A BLAHNIK FOR A PERIOD OF TIME WHERE SHE WOULD COME AND WAKE UP THE BREAKFAST CLUB AND THE WILLIAM WAY CENTER IN PHILLY. AAMINA BECAME A PRODIGY IN 2003 WHEN SHE WAS BATTLING GIRLS LIKE ERIKA KANE AND ROXY TWO GIRLS BEGINNING THEIR CAREERS AT THAT TIME. BECOMING A LOYAL PRODIGY FOR YEARS SHE WOULD COME OUT AND MAKE A STATEMENT WHEN SHE WOULD WALK AT THE 2008 NYC AWARDS BALL. THE PRODIGY GIRLS CAME TO STORM. AAMINA IN ALL PINK AND A LONG BONE SNATCH TURNED IT THE MOST BECAUSE HER BOOTS WERE BLACK!!! ( LOOK AT YOUTUBE FOR HER TENS AND THE AUDACITY) AT THE 2010 ICON BALL SHE GRACED THE FLOOR AND BATTLED ANGEL AND LOST TO KRISTINA. SHE WAS ALSO ON THE RED AND YELLOW PHOENIX TEAM AT THE RUMBLE THAT YEAR WHERE ALL THE GIRLS ON THAT TEAM SHOOK IT UP. AT THE EVISU BALL THAT YEAR SHE WON OVER CHARISMA AND LOST TO YOLANDA. TWO WEEKS LATER AT MY RISE OF THE PHOENIX FUNCTION SHE AND CHARISMA MET AGAIN THIS TIME WITH CHARISMA WINNING. THE HOTTEST BATTLE THAT NIGHT WAS HER AND STANLEY MILAN BATTLING FOR HAND PERFORMANCE EVEN THOUGH STANLEY WON PEOPLE WERE OUTRAGED FEELING AAMINA DESERVED IT. AAMINA IS A LEGEND WHO HAS CONSISTENTLY CONTRIBUTED TO PERFORMANCE OVER ALL THESE YEARS AND HAS PERFECTED HER CRAFT.

NOTABLE MENTIONS- AAMINA HAS DONE COMMUNITY OUTREACH FOR YEARS FOR THE BALLROOM SCENE/ GAY SCENE AND HAS BEEN PART OF THE HIV VACCINE TRIALS. SHE HAS CONTRIBUTED YEARS OF HER LIFE TO HELPING THE COMMUNITY. SOME OF THE FIRST FEM QUEENS SHE INITIALLY ENCOUNTERED AND LIVED FOR WAS SINIA EBONY AND KERRI MIZRAHI ON SOUTH STREET AND INSTANTLY LIVED FOR THEM.
