This week on Love-ly, Mehak sits down with Izz, a Haitian-born, Montreal-based Muslim woman with a story that’s anything but predictable. From growing up between cultures to converting to Islam in her 20s, Izz shares how embracing faith helped her redefine her self-worth, navigate heartbreak, and ultimately walk away from a year-long situationship.

They get into the messiness of dating while trying to honor their values, what it means to set real boundaries, and why choosing yourself is the most underrated love story of all.
