The Somali-American model joins Imran Amed to discuss her journey from a refugee camp in Kenya to the US to the top of the fashion industry — and what she's learned since taking a step back. Somali-American model Halima Aden nabbed an IMG contract and quickly shot the centre of the fashion world after she earned first attention as the first hijab-wearing Muslim to compete in Minnesota's Miss USA pageant. She walked for Yeezy, Fenty, Dolce and Gabbana and Tommy Hilfiger, and posed in Vogue, Elle and Allure. Then, in November, she stepped away from it all, announcing her intention to leave the industry. In retrospect, she thinks the best thing she did for herself in her career was never just see herself as a model.  “I found that some of the most fulfilling campaigns or photoshoots I got to be part of always tended to be when it wasn't just about me. It wasn't just Halima,” said Aden. “I was sharing stories that I brought from the refugee camp, sharing stories of other Muslim women in all different fields … I found that my work was more meaningful when it was tied to giving back.” Key Insights: Aden was born in a refugee camp in Kenya before moving to St. Louis, Mo. Eventually, her family resettled in St. Cloud, Minn, which is home to a large Somali immigrant community. She went on to compete in Minnesota's Miss USA pageant in search of a scholarship. She didn't win the pageant, but got something arguably even better: A call from Rihanna's team to shoot for Fenty Beauty. Aden's quick ascent meant she came into the industry at a more privileged vantage point. She didn't have to go to casting calls and received private dressing rooms. However, that no one else received the same treatment started to bother her.  The ex-model said her experiences of extreme poverty made her look at the fashion industry's excess with a bit of disdain, and perhaps, fuelled some of her anger at it.  After a journey of self-discovery, she's realised she needs to turn that pain into power as she maps out her future in the industry.  Additional Resources:  Halima Aden Plots Her Return to Fashion Voices 2021 - The Fashion Systems Push to Evolve To subscribe to the BoF Podcast, please follow this link.

Halima Aden dan Doktrin Kecantikan Perempuan Oleh. Ragil Rahayu Voice Over Talent: Dewi F NarasiPost.Com-Mengejutkan, Halima Aden dinobatkan menduduki posisi ketiga dalam daftar 100 perempuan tercantik dunia tahun 2021 versi media independen internasional, TC Candler. Daftar tersebut dirilis TC Candler melalui channel YouTube, pada Selasa (28/12). Posisi pertama ditempati Lisa Blackpink. Halima Aden menjadi istimewa karena dia adalah muslimah berhijab. Tampaknya, dunia sudah mulai terbuka terhadap standar kecantikan yang berbeda. Selama ini, seluruh perempuan di dunia mendapatkan doktrin kecantikan ala Barat. Bahwa perempuan cantik haruslah tinggi, putih, langsing, mancung, dan menampakkan auratnya. Tak ada tempat bagi perempuan pendek, berkulit gelap, gemuk, pesek, dan berpakaian tertutup rapat. Bisnis krim pemutih kulit dan obat pelangsing pun laku keras, seolah keduanya adalah ramuan ajaib untuk menjadi cantik. Begitu pula dengan menampakkan aurat, seolah menjadi syarat mutlak untuk mendapatkan pengakuan cantik. Para muslimah pun berbondong-bondong menampakkan keindahan tubuhnya, demi meraih predikat rupawan.

Somali-American role model and activist Halima Aden is remarkable. On this very inspiring episode, she tells Leomie what it was like being photographed in the arms of white celebrities as a baby in Africa, why her mother smashed her homecoming crown and after a highly publicised exit, why she walked away from fashion at the peak of her career.  Halima Aden was born and raised in Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya, where her family fled to escape the civil war. After landing in the US, Halima began blazing her trail, becoming the first Muslim model to wear a hijab in the Miss Minnesota USA pageant, which led to covers on Allure, Teen Vogue and British Vogue.

STATS is reeeeeaaaaalllllly bad with names WOW someone please tell him its HALIMA ADEN not HALIMA ABDI This episode the boys talk about Noel Clarke and the Allegations made against him.

BASE Finally picks a good support the hustle (STH) and manages to retain the SOTW crown (BACK 2 BACK) PS he said he doesn't need the viewers help and I quote “WASTEMANS” lol.

Halima Aden, la più famosa modella modest che ha saputo dire di no

Many people came out of the woodworks claiming that Halima's relationship with her mother was toxic, and she quit to make her mother happy. Why are women who take off the hijab celebrated and those who take steps to protect their hijab villainized? Should parental advice and ultimately be taken as toxic behavior, or is it just parents looking out for their child's best interest? Join us as we discuss these questions and more on this week's episode. Thank you for listening; please don't forget to subscribe and leave a review. Instagram @themuslimintheroom Supermodel Halima Aden and The Hijab

Hello angels. We're back and better than ever, discussing super-recent recommendations like Dawson's Creek, which Grace has finally started watching. Naturally, this is cause to revisit the Katie Holmes/Tom Cruise saga of '06, which remains the most chaotic whirlwind romance in Hollywood history. We're also talking about Meghan Markle's New York Times op-ed - aside from bringing to light more awareness about miscarriage, it's proof that Meg has an uncanny ability to intuit the moment culturally. So why are the royals wasting her? Then, Halima Aden - the first hijab-wearing supermodel - is quitting fashion, saying the industry caused her to compromise her beliefs, and we investigate the trap of being 'first'. Dakota Johnson and Cara Delevingne are both launching sex toy companies, but are suspiciously coy about using their own products. Then it's on to a column by Dolly Alderton arguing that women should focus on having 'character', rather than being beautiful.

Halima Aden is a true change-maker. Her brave decision in 2016 to enter the Miss Minnesota USA Contest – wearing a burkini in the swimsuit round – was a zeitgeist-changing moment. The very first hijab-wearing Vogue cover star, in just over three years, the Somali-American has redefined ideas of beauty, bringing diversity and visibility of Muslim women onto fashion’s front pages. Veteran fashion editor Carine Roitfeld was an early champion, casting Aden on the cover of her CR Fashion Book and famously in Kanye West’s Yeezy show; although, as Aden explains, that ground-breaking runway moment almost didn’t happen… See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Hello our wonderful, empowered batch of queens. Happy International Women's Day! We're celebrating by offering you a whole extra bonus episode, covering some massive feminist topics of the moment. Like: When will we see a female US president? And how do we tackle the oh-so-sexist ‘likeability' issue? Plus, a new feminist flick 'Misbehaviour' looks at intersectional feminism through the realm of beauty pageants - a true story from the ‘70s that raised questions we're still struggling to answer today. Izzy interviewed the director and star Gugu Mbatha-Raw and talks about the powerful acts of ‘quiet feminism' both women perform in their careers. Then it's all about Halima Aden - the megaforce supermodel and activist who has become an advocate for Muslim representation in fashion. Halima is in London to support the Pandora Charms for Change launch - an event we attended alongside her last night for International Women's Day. Plus, we got to speak to model, dancer and actor Larsen Thompson and artist Tasya van Ree about how they're pushing feminism in their lives. In short, plenty to be stoked about!

The designer catwalk and the glossy magazine cover are powerful cultural signifiers. Top models who occupy those spaces are deemed to have a look that attracts and sells. But how diverse is that look? How inclusive? Stephen Sackur interviews Halima Aden, a supermodel who challenged a host of stereotypes. She is a refugee from Somalia’s civil war; she’s Muslim and follows a modest dress code. Hers has been an extraordinary journey to international fame and fortune - how has it changed her?

Halima Aden is one of the world’s first hijab wearing supermodels. A black, Somali-American, born in Kenya, Halima was the first contestant of a Miss Minnesota beauty pageant to wear a hijab. Now 22, she appears on magazine covers such as Elle and Vogue and walks the runway for famous designers. “I am not afraid of being the first”, she says with a smile. “I have an opportunity, through my modelling, to change the way that Muslim women are viewed, to give them a platform to have their voices heard, I’m mindful, and proud, of that responsibility.” How does Halima stay faithful to Islam while displaying herself so publicly? Alina Isachenka is a former model, now a BBC journalist, who has exclusive access to Halima as she prepares for the catwalk backstage in Istanbul and New York. Halima talks about how she is using her faith to make a difference in the fashion industry all over the world. Producer/presenter: Alina Isachenka (Photo: Halima Aden. Credit: Fadil Berisha)

Barefoot in Catt's bedroom, Halima shares all -- from her early years living in a refugee camp in Kenya, to becoming a UNICEF ambassador. She discusses being the first woman to wear a hijab in the Miss Minnesota USA pageant, and how being discovered there launched her career as an international model. Since then, you may have spotted Halima walking the runway at fashion week, gracing the cover of magazines like Allure and British Vogue, and rocking an array of beautiful burkinis in Sports Illustrated's swimsuit edition.  Also in this episode, Catt talks about her own life-changing trip to Kenya that she embarked on with her mother's charity.

Halima Aden made history when she became the first hijab-wearing model on the cover of Vogue magazine. Now she returns to Kenya's Kakuma Refugee Camp -- where she was born and lived until the age of seven -- to share an inspiring message about what she's learned on the path from child refugee to international model.

할리마 아덴은 그녀가 처음 히잡을 쓴 모델로 보그 잡지의 커버를 장식함으로써 역사를 만들었습니다. 지금 그녀는 어린이 난민에서 국제적인 모델로 성장하는 동안 배운 것들을 격려메세지로 전달하기 위해 그녀가 태어나고 7살까지 살았던 케냐의 카쿠마 난민 캠프로 돌아왔습니다.

Halima Aden fez história quando se tornou a primeira modelo usando hijab a estampar a capa da revista Vogue. Agora ela retorna ao campo de refugiados de Kakuma, no Quênia, onde nasceu e viveu até os sete anos de idade, para compartilhar uma mensagem inspiradora sobre o que aprendeu em sua jornada de criança refugiada a modelo internacional.

Halima Aden hizo historia cuando se convirtió en la primera modelo con hiyab en la portada de la revista Vogue. En la actualidad, ha regresado al campo de refugiados de Kakuma en Kenia, donde nació y vivió hasta los siete años, para compartir un mensaje inspirador sobre lo que ha aprendido en el camino desde su infancia como refugiada hasta llegar a ser una modelo internacional.

Halima Aden schrieb Geschichte, als sie das erste Hijab-tragende Model auf dem Cover des Vogue-Magazins wurde. Jetzt kehrt sie in Kenyas Kakuma Flüchtlingslager zurück -- wo sie geboren wurde und bis zum Alter von sieben Jahren lebte -- und teilt eine inspirierende Nachricht darüber, was sie auf ihrem Weg vom Flüchtlingskind zum internationalen Model gelernt hat.

Halima Aden est rentrée dans l'histoire en devenant le premier mannequin voilé sur la couverture du magazine Vogue. Elle revient maintenant dans le camp de réfugiés de Kakuma, où elle est née et a vécu jusqu'à l'âge de sept ans, afin de partager un message exaltant à propos du chemin qui l'a menée jusqu'au mannequinat.

In the news this week, some issues where being "TRUMPED" for lack of better words. To start, according to Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton is a sore loser and even worse, a hypocrite because she's now challenging the results of the election. Trump is referring to Clinton's attack after he said during the third presidential debate he was non-committal on challenging the results of the election. Clinton called Trump's hedge "a direct threat to our democracy. Clinton has joined Green Party candidate Jill Stein's recount effort in several key states that went for Trump. What do you think? Want to boycott all things Donald Trump? Get excited, because there's an app for that! The Democratic Coalition Against Trump has created an app called Boycott Trump that offers its users an organized list of all the companies that have ties to Donald Trump’s empire. The Boycott Trump app is available in iTunes and Google Play. Is 2016 the best year ever for Black cinema? Some say the golden age of Black cinema was in the 1990s. After all, with films like Love Jones, Boyz N the Hood, Daughters of the Dust, Menace II Society, The Best Man, Waiting to Exhale, Get on the Bus, Slam, The Five Heartbeats, Eve’s Bayou. While the 1970s were ruled by heroes like Cleopatra Jones, Shaft, Truck Tuner and Foxy Brown, and the 1990s offered a fuller picture of Black life, lately Hollywood ain’t been no crystal stair for filmmakers of color - thoughts? A Muslim woman has become the first to compete in the Miss Minnesota USA pageant while fully clothed. Halima Aden (19 yrs old) made the semifinals of the competition over the weekend while wearing a hijab. She also wore a full-body outfit called a burkini during the swimsuit competition. We also discussed the 2016 Soul Train Music awards which had some controversial moments. You have to hear what the crew had to say on this, lol! Same time...same place, stay tuned!
