Maurina Houssein Ahmed Aiken was born on June 17, 1998, in Minneapolis, MN. Shew grew up in Eden, NC, raised by her loving mother, Roxie Aiken and cherished by her other sisters, Corina Aiken and Crystal Allen.

Maurina's journey in life was defined by resilience and determination, matched with heart full of compassion and generosity. She cared deeply for others, often putting their needs before her own. Though she faced challenges from an early age, she never let them define her journey nor diminish the strength and grace with which she lived.
