Somali complaining about being rejected from a modelling agency because of her hijab

[Zach]

Halima Aden, former contestant of Miss Minnesota pageant, is signed to IMG, the largest modelling agency in the US.

Shahira Yusuf is signed to Storm Management, the biggest modelling agency in the UK.

But they are gorgeous, and she is beautiful but not really model material and that’s fine.

Doesn't this defeat the purpose of hijab?

What is the purpose to you?

Im all about supporting my Somali sisters but ever since Halima Aden got signed so many think they can follow in her footsteps. It's getting a bit annoying.

And she is pretty in her own way, stop hating.

Do models like Halima Addn get paid a lot? I'm ignorant about these things so wondering how much cash she's rolling in

Halima Aden is currently one of the bigger models, so yes she get's paid a lot
However, it's not like she's a supermodel or anything, yet.

That's cool. I pray she don't lose her faith sounds like a shady world from what I've heard.

Stop roasting her, what if she sees this? Not nice.

The modest clothing industry/Muslima clothing industry is estimated at 45 billion dollars.

I think you would make more if you niched and help fill gaps in the market instead.

Not everyone can become a model. But everyone needs clothes.

I hope she achieves her dreams of making it, I think she is definitely model material and I am rooting for her

She's not pretty. Every hijabi wants to be like Halima, Somalis can't be original. She looks like a transgender.

She’s actually a user on here . I shall not expose her, suffice it say her username starts with K and ends with S.

In the era of inclusivity and diversity , is it even about being pretty anymore ? Apparently obese and not-so good looking ethnic people have as much right to be a model as anyone else . Even transgender men are now displayed on modelling magazines.

In other words the annual clothing spend per capita of muslim women is $95?

Everyone thinks they are entitled to things and forget that working hard and struggling for your goal /dream is key to success.
