Rona Ameda “With the hijab, I can finally be who I am. It makes me feel empowered because I am in control of what world sees of me and people are directed to look at more than the exterior. I believe in putting as much emphasis on the mind and intelligence and the hijab secures that in forcing others to look at me with those same values.” - RONA 132
