It's All About Attitude

Join us as as the winner of the 2017 Mr. Washington State, Saleem Juma, speaks about his journey. Saleem is a 23-year-old model and college student from Seattle, Washington. He was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis at 16 and had a full prolectomy at 19, he was also diagnosed with anxiety disorder and depression that same year. However, he never lost his vision of helping people and being an inspiration to everyone that was suffering from the same things he was.
