Expressing Identity: The Journey to Niqab
Transitioning from the hijab to the niqab marked Brianna’s deliberate choice to outwardly represent her commitment to ultimate modesty. Despite societal challenges, she saw the niqab as a symbol of freedom—a rejection of societal norms that often define a woman’s worth by physical appearance.
Encountering societal resistance and judgment for her choice, Brianna found empowerment in wearing the niqab. For her, this choice transcended the fabric; it became a powerful assertion of autonomy over her body, a rejection of societal beauty standards, and a declaration that she should be judged by her mind rather than her physical appearance.
