On World Hijab Day today, I think back to 23 years ago when I chose to wear the hijab. It’s a decision that deeply influenced who I am and what I stand for. Putting it on, I immediately felt a sense of purity and grace. My hijab isn’t something that holds me back; it’s my protection, giving me endless freedom and strength. Wearing the hijab isn’t just a choice; it’s an integral part of who I am. I am honored to wear it and to inspire countless young women on their own journeys. Despite misconceptions, wearing the hijab doesn’t limit one’s dreams or pursuits; rather, it adds a layer of beauty and reverence, especially to the eyes of those closest to us. When people question with a tinge of doubt, I confidently affirm that the hijab is part of who I am, not something that holds me back. It doesn’t define how religious I am or stop me from being active. Instead, it gives me a sense of freedom and confidence, helping me succeed in everything I do. I ask my fellow hijabis to embrace their identities unapologetically, and to pursue their passions with courage as well as resilience. Our faith grants us boundless rights and freedoms, and we must never allow the judgments of others to dim our light. Today, as always, I proudly proclaim: My HIJAB is my CROWN! Let us stand tall, embodying dignity, respect, and unwavering determination. Together, let us inspire and uplift those around us, creating a world where being genuine and accepting everyone is what matters the most.
