Starting Hijabeefied, Racism in Arab culture, Hijabs being controversial & more | Ibtisam Habib

August 26, 2020 • I bumped Into

This week, I bumped into Ibtisam Habib, founder of Hijabeefied.

Hijabeefied was created to empower Muslim women and later East African women to live their best lives and not fall for societal peer pressure. We chat on why she started her channel and how she built a following of 44k , Racism in the Arab culture, Patriarchy, why hijabs are controversial to the west and in true I Bumped into style we go deep. We get to know who through asking questions such as:

- If she were to give a TED a Talk, what would she talk about,

- If there is anything she is holding onto that she needs to let go of and other interesting questions where we get to know this Superwomen.

I really enjoyed bumping into Ibtisam and having this insightful conversation around being muslim women, Arab culture & islamophobia amongst the many other topics we touch on.
