Excerpt from Does My Head Look Big in This?
At Hidaya the hijab was part of the uniform. But I used
to take it off as soon as I stepped outside the school
gates because man oh man do you need guts to get
on public transportation with it on. At the end of the
school day the trains would be absolutely packed with
schoolkids. I could keep wearing it if I hopped on with
a group of Hidaya students because I wouldn't feel so
exposed. But the problem was that I had to change
trains to get home and there was no way I had the
courage to go the distance alone with it on.
