What a beautiful reflection.

“Last year, I participated in World Hijab Day for the first time, nervous and unsure of what to expect. Throughout my time wearing Hijab for both World Hijab Day and the Ramadan challenge, I’m happy to say I was met with nothing but smiles and kindness. This year I am excited to once again participate in these movements. I find dressing in hijab to be empowering and enjoyable. Although I am not in a place where I want to do this full time, I am happy to join the cause in service to my sisters around the globe. Let’s be kind to each other and help fight the prejudice and ignorance surrounding this faith!”-Andrea Momiji Besch, Non-Muslim, USA

Via World Hijab Day: "Can we till call India the world's largest democracy?"

Can we still call India the world’s largest democracy?

“This is not the India I knew and grew up in, where religious shouts such as “Jai Shree Ram” are hurled at a single Burqa-clad girl walking to her college, where such words are used to intimidate her into removing her hijab, where Ram is a symbol of patience, endurance and righteousness?”

"My personal journey allowed me to process how ironic it is that hijab can be seen as 'othering' but in my case being a product of my secular American environment that promotes a culture of individualism and self-expression, is what made practicing hijab an American concept and experience for me... I see practicing hijab to be as American as apple pie! "
