“I want women like Aunt Michelle to understand that it is not only women who look like them who are free, who think, and care about other women. That it is possible for two things to look similar but be completely different. That I cover my head like other strong, respected women have done before me, like Malala Yousafzai, like Kariman Abuljadayel, like my mama. That I cover my head not because I am ashamed, forced, or hiding. But because I am proud and want to [be] seen as I am.” — Jasmine Warga
I want women like Aunt Michelle to understand that it is not only women who look like them who are free, who think, and care about other women.
That it is possible for two things to look similar but be completely different.
That I cover my head like other strong, respected women have done before me, like Malala Yousafzai, like Kariman Abuljadayel, like my mama.
That I cover my head not because I am ashamed, forced, or hiding.
But because I am proud and want to [be] seen as I am.
