I haven’t seen anything about this on my dash, so I just want to draw attention to Anniesa Hasibuan, a Muslim designer who presented a glittering line of hijab-wearing models at this year’s New York Fashion Week.

Above are a few looks from the line; you can find more at this link and at Anniesa’s Instagram. Here’s the designer herself, glowing after her success!

Zendaya on Being in Beyoncé’s Lemonade It was crazy. At first when they called I thought it wasn’t even real. I don’t think I believed it until I got there and I saw her. Clearly I’m obsessed with Beyoncé. Anyone that knows me knows that I’m a diehard fan. It was incredible being part of something that I think was more than just a Beyoncé video. It was a women empowerment video. It was a black women empowerment video. It was a socially conscious and aware video. It touched on so many different topics and things that were so important, and I appreciate that she uses her platform to do that and talk about things and make people uncomfortable.

Dark-skinned South Asian women are fighting their cultural racism with #UnfairAndLovely

There are so many cultural imports from the West into South Asia — unfortunately, racism is one of them and a higher value placed on lighter skin prevails in this region. But three students hope to rectify this with a movement of their own called #UnfairAndLovely — a jab at one of South Asia’s most popular bleach creams, Fair and Lovely. Here’s how to participate.

On Wednesday evening, Mohamedtaha Omar, age 23, Adam K. Mekki, age 20, and Muhannad A. Tairab, age 17, were found shot dead with multiple gun wounds, execution style, in Indiana. And yet there is minimal coverage in mainstream media, and police have ruled out the possibility of it being a hate crime.

Mohamedtaha Omar. Adam K. Mekki. Muhannad A. Tairab.

Remember their names. Pray for their families. Do not let their deaths be forgotten.

Demand justice.

“International Mother Language Day” is based on a very infamous day in 1952. Saying just the date - “Ekushe February” (February 21) - simply suffices to redraw the gravity of this day to many Bengalis. On this day, students and academics from Dhaka - who were demonstrating for the recognition of the Bangla language against a culturally-supremacist Pakistani state, were shot by police near the capital of present-day Bangladesh. In the popular discourse of Bangladeshi culture, these victims are known as “the language martyrs”. They are among the symbols of an oppression and second-class citizenry that Bengalis prior to 1971 had struggled against; and they too are symbols etched along the tragic course of what culminated into one of the most concentrated genocides of modern history

Meet the Australian teen hoping to be the world’s first Muslim pro ballerina

Stephanie Kurlow is not your average teenage girl with a dream of ballet stardom. For one, she’ll never be a “bunhead.” The 14-year-old Australian is Muslim, making her one of the most prominent hijab-clad ballet dancers around, and she refuses to let her faith get in the way of her life’s goal: to dance professionally. And you can help her achieve that goal.
