Thanking Rihanna for letting her wear her hijab on a modeling set, Kinglimaa said “This is the girl I’m returning to. The real HALIMA.”

PARIS — Coronavirus lockdowns have proven to be rich periods of introspection for many, at times even prompting a realignment of values. And so it went for Halima Aden, who revisited her fashion career and concluded that it has not reflected her identity as a woman who wears a hijab. This, she plans to change.

The model grew up in Minnesota after fleeing Kenya, as she explained through photos, frank messages and emojis — from cringing faces to hearts. One of the images she singled out was a photo of her posing with a pair of jeans sitting on her head. Other images she singled out as not OK included one of her wearing a knit beanie hat and a scarf poking out from underneath, as well as one showing only her eyes, with bright yellow streaks of makeup on her lids.
