I recently quit my office job in Paris and got fired from the following one afterwards. It was actually the best thing that happened to me. I hated that place, even though I was there only 2 days. It was a sign for me to get that unemployment money and focus on my deen.

Growing up as a Muslim in the United States, I was not always surrounded by Hijabi women. My mother was a Hijabi when she was a teenager, but during the Bosnian Genocide, taking it off is what kept her alive. When she arrived in Switzerland as a refugee, she was not inclined to put it back on right away due to so much suffering and trauma that came with being Muslim in Bosnia.

Asalaam alaikum! My name is Hawa Zeba, and I am 19 years old. I was born and raised in West Africa, Côte D'Ivoire. I moved to the United States when I was 15 years old. I am currently a student at the University of North Carolina Greensboro, majoring in media studies, and I want to share my hijab journey with you guys.

My name is Adna (@adnarejjan on IG), I was born and raised in Germany, but my parents came here from Bosnia. My hijab journey began with me doing Umrah in 7th grade over a two week break. After I came back my older sister wanted to go out with me since we hadn’t seen each other for a while. This was the moment where I started to question something.
