On Tuesday, Halima Aden posted a series of Instagram Stories reflecting on how, throughout her career, she felt she compromised on her religious beliefs — in relation to her hijab, specifically — in order to fit into the fashion industry’s conventions, and how she plans on advocating for herself moving forward. “As I’ve said many times, being a minority inside of a minority inside of a minority is never easy,” she wrote, later adding: “Thanks to Covid and the break away from the industry, I have finally [realized] where I went wrong in my personal hijab journey. I wish I never stopped bringing my black hijab to set. Because the minute I got comfortable… let’s just say I got too carried away.” {Grazia}
