Khan, who lives in Middlesex County with her two sons and husband, is the founder of World Hijab Day which encourages anyone and everyone to don a hijab and celebrate its meaning on Feb. 1.
A coalition of Nigerian Muslim women has commended the Federal Government for being instrumental to advancing the dignity of Hijab wearers in the country.
For Khan the hijab is a symbol of beauty and self-respect, a crown. The hijab has deep roots in tradition, Islam and modesty. Millions of Muslim women have worn the hijab for generations.
