The Hijab Foundation

The Hijab Foundation Show the world the true timeless meaning of beauty, love, and acceptance and capture the true essence of the Hijab!

The Hijab Foundation is an organization that seeks to properly define the word 'hijab' through the photographic medium. In short, the hijab is the traditional head covering worn by Muslim women, but it is so much more than just that. Recently the media has degraded the hijab immensely and has portrayed it to be something that it is not. We wish to break out of these derogatory stereotypes and show

the world the true timeless meaning of beauty, love, and acceptance and capture the true essence of the hijab.

The Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said, "Every child is born upon the natural disposition as a Muslim. It is his parents who make him a Jew or a Christian or a Polytheist when they grow up." (Sahih Muslim)

White guy in my class: Every time I see one of you girls wearing that scarf on your head I imagine that you guys have the prettiest hair and just cover it up in order to not blind us all from its profound beauty.

We had such an amazing time visiting our highschool and sharing the story of how we became best friends, thus resulting in the creation of The Hijab Foundation. Thank you so much to everyone who came out to the Henna Fest and showed us and the school their support! xoxo, Mia and Jane

You met half of the power behind the project. Now its time to meet the other half. Meet Jane Soliternik, co-photographer and partner of The Hijab Foundation. Mia and Jane have been a team fighting for coexistence and respect since the day they met, so she decided to wear pink in honor of Global Pink Hijab Day as well, to show her support in the fight against Breast Cancer.
