Latina Sister
I have made this set, called Muslim women of the world to reflect the idea in Islam that there is no race or countries. That we are all sisters, subhan'Allah.
“The way Latin men portray women, it’s terrible,” Avelar said. “You look at Spanish CDs, and you see women in bikinis on the cover.”
Before Islam: The day laborers at a nearby 7-Eleven whistled and cat-called — “Oy Mamacita!” — as she passed them.
After Islam: The day laborers stared in silence as she, in her hijab, passed them.
“The fact they stayed quiet, I was like, ‘Alhamdulillah!’,” said Avelar, reciting the Arabic phrase “Praise be to Allah.”
“I love the respect that I get from the opposite sex [when I’m] in hijab.”
