15 Oct: Employee’s children’s book highlights the hijab with pride

A black girl wearing a pink hijab with a superhero cape and a silver crown graces the cover of Zinet Kemal’s first children’s book, Proud in Her Hijab: A Story of Family Strength, Empowerment, and Identity

A Best Buy employee working in the cloud security engineering space and proud mother of four, Zinet has two daughters who wear hijabs. When she didn’t see girls that look like them represented in literature enough, she decided to write a book of her own.

Growing up, it was normal for Zinet to see women wearing hijabs and to hear the occasional biased comment.
