Everyone Has a Friend Who Wears Hijab

In this episode we explore the beauty and meaning of the Hijab through the perspectives of eight high school students. We learn from these young women that while it makes them feel closer to their faith, the scarf or hijab is also a deeply personal choice, symbolic of empowerment, modesty, self-expression and resilience. Special thanks to Amal, Sabriin, Fartun, Yasmin, Sabrin, Aisha, Hodan and Sam Sam for sharing their powerful voices.
