Hi there!
I am Mariam.
I am a 27 year-old Egyptian-Canadian journalist and content creator from Toronto, Canada. I have been wearing the hijab since I was 18 and I am proud to be a modest-dressing, plus-sized woman.
As a someone who grew up with the rise of social media, I never saw myself represented as a tall, plus-sized woman and the feeling of exclusion became even worse when I started wearing the hijab in 2013.
My mission is to create a space that not only plus-sized modest dressers can find inspiration but have a real and honest conversation about motherhood and mental health.
Journalist by day, content creator by night
When I am not at my 9 to 5 job as a journalist or creating content, you can catch me cooking and creating memories with my toddler.
It’s been a hot minute since I wrote for my own blog — almost two years to be exact. I have had over 100 bylines over the last 20 months that haven’t been on here and honestly it took my time and energy away from creating content that was authentically me.
