Our latest guest blog post comes from Maliyah Basri of Birmingham, England. She's a 19 year-old student at the University of Worcester in addition to being a mehndi/henna artist. You can view her work (or get your mehndi done!) by visiting her facebook page! She writes about hijabi empowerment and has a great message for Muslim women everywhere!
You do not become inferior, to those who think they are superior, because of your exterior. The rendition of beauty continuously changes. Choosing to reject society’s beauty game is exercising a choice that you are absolutely entitled to. Being known for the person you are by your character and distinctive traits is an honour.
