“I don’t normally photograph men, but this series was important after talking to Hushi about the negative portrayal of Middle Eastern men, particularly Iranian men, in Western media. We wanted to show the truth, the vibrant spirit of Iranian brotherhood and youth through soccer, cultural heritage, and the power of overcoming struggle through community.” @localbrownbaby @hushi5 http://bit.ly/2W6tUou

“Reda tells the story of Muslim women and the 8 most common hijab styles. While the turban is often labelled as “heathen” and “pointless”, women in burqas get judged for not covering their ankles, their walk and how they talk. As a dedicated hijabi I ask myself, if I am wearing it for myself or the critics, to match their expectations of a “real” hijabi. It is my decision if and how I am wearing my headscarf. It is none of your business, how I express self love to myself. Who am I wearing it for when it is not for myself?” by @ischraa http://bit.ly/2RPsSy0
