Salaams my lovelies! Jumah mubarak to you all. As you know, I typically do a Follow Friday blog post on a hijabi’s Instagram account that I adore. Well I know I have blogged about Noor Tagouri before, but her Instagram account just begs to be followed. Why is that, you ask? She is a globe trotting, fearless example of a hijabi who is trying to show the best side of our faith to others. Whether she is studying domestic violence in Italy, or going on speaking engagements, Noor Tagouri’s Instagram account can serve as a inspiration to empower other hijabis to be active in their communities.
She is also beautiful too mashallah! However, she is not just a pretty face. What really strikes me is the beauty of her actions. You can really see her trying to understand where others are coming from. I feel like this is an essential quality of news anchors. If you look at the most popular news personalities, it is not their looks that make them successful, it is their ability to relate with the people that they are interviewing to get them to open up about their lives. I think Noor Tagouri will follow in those footsteps and really shine as a news anchor inshallah.
Her Instagram account is @ntagouri. Make sure to follow her for your own daily dose of community activism.
For scenes in my own daily life on food, fashion, and family, feel free to follow me @hijabilife too.
she is.soooo beautiful MashaAllah!!
I would love to see this smart, sensitive, stunning woman on a national network news service, but I’m afraid America is not yet ready for a woman in a hijab. Depressing to realize how a piece of fabric covering a woman’s head arouses such fear and loathing in so many. Sigh…
Enthusiastic wave of the hand from New York City! ~~~~~~~
