“Being a Muslim hijabi woman, we are seen as an ambassador of the Islamic faith. But then again, are we? This is a question we are grappling with ourselves. We are not condemning the Muslim women who decide to share their experiences about the hijab. It’s all up to Muslim community how they interact and discuss the hijab. We just have to remember that it’s perceived relationship to oppression is not the only discussion worth having. We are not here to prove we are not oppressed; we are here to lead normal lives and practice our faith.”
