In this image and poem I explore beauty standards and pressures in our society and the possible effects it has on us. Do you think the price of cosmetic surgery and the media have changed how we view are bodies?

Every time some one comes @ me about playing 🏀 because my body “moving” in front of men. 1. It’s a sport 🙄 2. Keep your eyes on the ball if you can’t handle it. I’m not going to stop playing 4. Call out men for being so disgusting. 5 stop shifting the blame!!

Our Allah did not leave any details out in our religion. Did he not command the men to lower their gaze? Did he not tell men to cover their awra? Both men & women are judged on their influence over people. Male Muslim bodybuilders wear practically nothing! Why is this one sided?

I remember being asked on an interview with BBC Women's hour what my thoughts on terrorism are a a few years back. It was pre-recorded so we where able to remove that section before it went live as we felt the question was really unacceptable to ask. 4 years on. No change.

And Why is it that every time an issue is addressed where the goal is to remind/advice muslims? The men are left out. This could have been such a great reminder. but instead it became another tweet about women being fitna. May Allah guide us all.

Let’s talk about the representation of muslim women on screen. I can understand that we all practice our faith in many different ways and have different life styles.
So I am not here to judge the writers as every writer writes from their own experience.

We were different
We draped gold on our heads and necks
And threw our tobs over our shoulders
Our skin and thick oiled hair glistened under the sun rays
Until they started to tell us to stay in the shade
And thrust hot irons into our curls
Then we all became the same

I was giving a talk today over zoom 15/16 year old girls. I have done this talk many times and with mixed groups too. But I found myself getting emotional at the end. It was the first time I realised how much I have grown over the years and how far I have actually come.
