It is our duty as feminists to protect and respect women in Hijabs

[fiercefatfeminist]

Now. More. Than. Ever.

[princeoftheplayground]

Question: if I see someone pull off a Hijab, what should I do? I know there are reasons they are worn so I want to if i should stand in between them and who did this, should i protect them from view somehow, or something else? This has been happening a lot so I feel it’s something everyone needs to know.

[protectnevillelongbottom]

Good question! I cannot correctly and effectively answer, as I am a white, non-Muslim person; however, I will reblog in case any of my followers can answer. 

[inquisitivespirit]

I asked my Hijabi friend, so here’s one Hijabi’s answer: 

“my opinion is, definitely try cover them or give them something to cover themselves with. And perhaps shoo off the person, without putting oneself in danger! God forbid, if that happened to me, I would like someone to come and comfort me and give me something to cover my hair with and then help me report it to the cops “

(Followers, if any of you are hijabi and would like to expand on this answer or offer alternatives, please do.)

If u see it happen to 1 of us, pls cover our head + hair with a coat or shawl or any piece of cloth, while hugging us in comfort. Please don’t get hurt by lashing out @ the perpetrators in any way, coz if they dare to do that, they’re probably too far gone in their own hatred to listen to any reason. Much love + Thank You to anyone who supports us.

[meanieyards]

yes !! everything said here is important af. if you see someone pull off a girl’s hijab immediately cover her hair and provide comfort. don’t talk to the perpetrator but try to get the woman out of there if you can. maybe if you have a scarf on you at the time give it to her so she can wear it until she’s alone and can replace her hijab. please please protect muslim girls because we already had it hard before donald trump became president and now its gonna be worse with people going around thinking their violence and cruelty is justified 

[hollowedskin]

for my other white ppl who might have a hard time, it’s my understanding that a hijab is like a major item of clothing, not an accessory like a hat or a scarf. so think abt it more like if someone just ripped someone’s shirt or skirt off. u don’t want to be left there exposed or have to walk home without it.

everyone, even outside America needs to protect our Muslim sisters in these times.

[quadriparesis-deactivated201908]

as a man, what would be the best thing to do? should i turn my head and avoid looking at their hair? can i still offer a jacket or something similar?

[wear-it-like-armour-bastard]

^I’m hoping someone has an answer islamaphpbia is on the rise in my town and I want to be a good male non Muslim ally

[soul-angelos-deactivated2023102]

For men, yes please, we would prefer it if you avoided looking at our hair, and if we don’t have something to substitute as a hijab at that moment, anything you could lend us, a jacket, etc, would be very appreciated.

Also, since most girls avoid physical contact with men they’re not related to, please do not hug them, but rather shoo the offender away if you can, or at least escort the girl to a safe place. You can still offer words of encouragement and support. Furthermore, understand that the victim may not be very welcoming towards you because she’ll obviously be shaken, and won’t know where you are coming from. If that’s the case, please still give her something to cover herself (hijab is very important, think of it as someone ripping your shirt off) and stand some distance away until you are sure she’s in safe hands.

Thank you so much for your support, we really appreciate it, god bless all of you.

[knitmeapony]

If you’ve got an emergency kit for events/rallys/etc, an inexpensive/thrift store shawl or scarf is a great addition to it.  It can keep you/someone else warm, it can be used as a makeshift sling or bag, and it can be used for this!  Something light but opaque that can be folded to many sizes is ideal.

Back to College: Things I learned the hard way

I am entering my senior year of college and I’ve learned some things about it. Now, my experience is similar and differnet from many of my peers. Do know that everone’s experience is different. What you as an individual find important alters what happens to each person. However, I learned a few things that everyone can take with them.

Procrastination is the number one way to ensure misery

Sunset Box Braids

I decided to put my hair away for a tiny bit. After I added the orange hair color my hair has been screaming for moisture. My hair does not soak in my leave-in conditioner like it used to, I have to stand under my shower head an extra 3 minuets to get it soaking wet. My hair routine is normally very simple but now I have to do more so my hair doesn’t break off . So as a precaution I decided to…

I’m so grateful!!! My parents and my soon to be In-laws are such a blessing. I love them. They pushed me and prayed for me. They provided for me. They both have given me opportunities that I would of never been able to conceive of. I wanted to publicly say that @jrickyhowell Mrs. Erica @elizabeth.anne8 @timothyflynn5 @drtoniga and Mr.Alvarado are amazing. They are parents that people would sacrifice for. I love you guys so much. I know I’ll never be able to repay you all but y’all are my heart. I have no idea where I would be with out y’all. Thank you for everything. 📸: @amjproduction (at The Church)

If you didn’t know, wedding planning absolutely sucks. It’s so boring and annoying. People keep asking you questions that don’t really matter. colors are just colors, food is just food, a venue is just a venue and a dress is just a dress. This event is not the climax of my life. This wedding is a celebration of a stepping stone that God is giving us. John and I have an abundance of goals that God has called us to do and our wedding is just the beginning of our partnership through it. You nor I know all of that God has planned for us but we have high expectations. God is about to get all of the glory ✨ Photo credit: @amjproduction Check out my blog 💕maroonlips.wordpress.com #howelldowntheaisle #august30th (at Cabbagetown, Atlanta)

New Hair! Who Dis?

TADAAAAA!!! I’m a pumpkin! A Sunrise! A Sunset! A Carrot Top! A side cover of a Penguin book! Frank Ocean’s Album cover! I can go on and on about all of the amazing things that this hair color reminds me of. This sunrise orange is one of the most beautiful colors I have ever done and I absolutely love it.

I’ve been blonde for 2 months and it was a nice color. It was very “natural” which is cool…

People that I graduated high school with are still amazed that John and I are still together. Every once in a while someone will ask me how did we make it so long especially through college. Well first step is that we actually like each other. Johnathan is my friend, we like similar things, we share similar hobbies, we try our best to listen to each other, we sacrifice for each other. I like John plus I think he’s really cute. Second, we both put God before our love for each other. I will never love John more than I love God. That makes our relationship work better than most because I know that I should never depend on him to fill all of the holes in my life. Third, we have our own hobbies. We’re not “consumed” by each other. John has music and I have art. John likes to read philosophical ideas and I prefer topics about social polices and history. We have our own things. We have identities that are outside of each other yet we respect each other enough to know that we represent each other. Lastly, we got to a point where we realized that we both have pros and cons about each other. So, take the honey with the vinegar ya know. We decided to make it work. We’ve been out of our “crazy and in love” stage for a while. We’ve decided to love each other. It’s a choice to love. Jesus wasn’t forced to love us. He easily could of been like “nah I’m out” but He put His emotions to the side decided to go through with everything. Sounds like love to me. And all that John and I try to do is replicate the love Jesus has for us to each other. ———————————————— Check out my blog. It’s in the bio Maroonlips.wordpress.com
