Hijab makes you feel so much powerful

By Bianka Veilleux (Canada, Non-Muslim)

When I first started wearing hijab, a lot of people treated me differently but in a good way. I remember walking in the mall so nervous because I was scared of what people will think since I live in Canadian society. It is rare to see white girls with hijab. One day, I was walking to go to work and I realized a lot of people were looking at me and facing down.

First three days were stressful but after a week I felt so good. I felt completely different and beautiful in it! People were respecting me so much more. I felt like a new me …just the fact that a lot of people were so nice and treated me differently made me so happy! Especially at work, my colleagues understood perfectly the fact that I wanted to wear it and they were also happy for me because they said I seemed happy that way and really different in a good way. The hijab makes you feel so much powerful and great …and reserved for someone that you know you are going to spend the rest of your life with.
