My Hijab (My head scarf )



Hijab defines who i am , but maybe not the way you are thinking. but what are you thinking now ?



I started wearing my Hijab when i was four years old or maybe earlier , a lot of people think either you are oppressed or you are very conservative.
if you ask me why i chose Hijab its because i worship GOD everyday in the way i dress , i grew up in a Muslim country but i never felt for a second that i can't speak up. or that i am oppressed i actually felt protected and loved by my religion.



I am not oppressed nor i am brain washed i am simply following my way of life.
