I have been wearing the hijab for 9 years and could not be more grateful. The hijab has made me feel confident and beautiful for the sake of Allah. There are many struggles that come with being an American-Muslim woman who wears hijab, however, it has only made me stronger. Each day I walk out of the house with what feels to be a crown on my head. To all Muslim women who wear the hijab, you are Queens, embrace it.

Walk with confidence, strut with a smile, and never forget to give THE royal wave to those who give you that dirty stare. We are Queens.
