What you NEED TO KNOW!

UNCC Wednesday March 28th 6pm at the BELK TOWER! BE THERE TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT!!!!


I am not sure if everyone has been following what is going on in the news lately. It is really unfortunate events. Started with Trayvon Martin being shot and killed because he was suspected to be "suspicious". Following this event Saturday March 24th Shaima Al Awadi was beaten with a tire iron because she was a "terrorist". Where has Justice gone? WHY ARE INNOCENT PEOPLE BEING KILLED?!

I am making this event because I would like to help awareness and stand up for what I believe in. I would like to photograph females with hijabs on and a hoody/without hoodies. Also, if guys would like to join they can just wear hoodies with the hood up. We can do these in public spaces or in the photography studio. I feel like conceptual doing these out on public streets would get the message around in a better manner...

I was inspired through a friend when she showed me this picture, which you can look at on... http://dedazaghari.tumblr.com/post/19936302980/empirestateofnoor-hoodies-n-hijabs-stand-up#notes

For further Information about location please comment with times and where you think is best for you!
LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE DOWN



The girls will be in hijabs and hoodies, or just hijabs and the guys will be in Hoodies. If you do not want to wear either you may choose to just have a piece of tape with RIPJustice, RIPTrayvon, or RIPshaima on it!




COME OUT! INSPIRATION CAME FROM THIS PICTURE.
