Much love to Oakland's
Ella Baker Center for Human Rights for letting me share with them my #HijabiFlashMob experience on their blog
Ellla's Voice:
A
#HijabiFlashMob – at least that’s what we were calling it even though
there was no actual dancing involved. In its literal interpretation,
it’s a sudden mob of women in hijabs.
A “hijab” is
the head covering worn by some Muslim women as a sign of faith,
humility, devotion, and sometimes even a political statement. The
premise behind having a flash mob of women in hijab being that the hijab
in the “West” has turned into such an icon of fear and righteousness
for islamophobes in this nation that the mere presence of many women in
hijab standing all together would scare the bejeezies out of them.
