Review of My Muslim Hairdresser

The piece is really simple – a good interview, well-recorded, introduced and obviously extremely well-edited. This young woman is really eloquent on the matter of wearing the headscarf – which is under hot debate in Europe – as well as hr view of her hairdresser profession. She couldn’t state her case with more directness, dignity and conviction. I was interested in knowing a little more context – how long has she been a Muslim – was it just reading about it that attracted her? But perhaps that doesn’t matter. We need to keep a voice like this one out there.
