Everything I: Muslim Model and Jaharrah Ali

everything i: Model Jaharrah Ali, a Brooklyn, New York native born to Pakistani and Trinidadian parents, who proudly rocked her hijab in the video, spoke on her experience, according to Huffington Post Canada. A post shared by Jasmine Burke thejasmineburke on Feb 21, 2017 at 6 45am PST Being a Muslim model, you know how xenophobic people can be, she told W. By me saying, 'My name is Jaharrah Ali, and I am an immigrant,' I'm saying that everything in my life, everything I've done in the last 28 years has been important. And although the executive order has been put on hold for now, xenophobia is still, and has always been, prevalent in the United States. Former DKNY designer Maxwell Osborne was also on-set for the moving shoot. Last summer, Osborne penned an open letter in W, urging the fashion industry to stand with Black Lives Matter. But this isn't the first time he's intersected fashion with politics. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
