People are going gaga over the hijabi who rocked the stage on “This is me” performance at oscars 2018

Dolby Theatre, Hollywood- 90th Academy awards ceremony was the topic of discussion for all. This time the topic was not the glitz and the glams of the event only but also the representation of hijabi/Muslim girls. People around the globe were in tears when they saw a Hijabi girl while Keala Settles performed “This is Me” from the film The greatest showman.

The hijabi girl was in the front row pf performers. Not long after the performance, people started to take over Twitter to express their feelings.

Prominent performer, FOR SURE!

I saw a hijabi dancing there. Nice. #Oscars

Breaking stereotypes:

Is that a hijabi as a background dancer for Keala Settle's This is Me Oscars performance? If so, I love the statement. We really are breaking barriers. pic.twitter.com/GJ2WpgM3D2

This performer not only broke the stereotypical image of Hijabi’s but also gave confidence to many Hijabi’s out there. The oscars really did bring a difference. This is one of the many steps which muslim girls have to take for a better future and world.
