Ramsay talks about how he started drawing comics in secret, how routine is crucial in improving any skills you want to develop, and how asking people for help is underrated.

Ramsay Hassan created Marvel’s first Muslim superhero, perfectly embodies the idea of “being the change you want to see” by breaking barriers and challenging stereotypes. His character shows that heroes come from all backgrounds and that representation matters. By stepping into a role where few like him have appeared before, Ramsay has created a character that inspires others to embrace their identities proudly and to make positive changes in their communities. Just like the saying encourages, Ramsay didn’t wait for change—he became the change.
