Manal Rostom is an Egyptian endurance athlete living in Dubai, she’s the creator of the Surviving Hijab,<\/a> a Facebook support group for women who have taken the decision to wear the hijab which now boasts over 930k members, (nearly a mill!) SHE was the one who called on Nike to create a hijab for women, (YES, Manal!) and now she’s featured on a Nike poster campaign across the UAE and Saudi.<\/p>\n

Shout out to the athlete who continuously works to promote representation, and when an international brand features a local athlete who champions diversity, attention must be paid!<\/h2>\n

Looking at this, I have one thought.
\nWhether you dream it or not, (sometimes you don\u2019t dream this Big \ud83d\ude29) but if you\u2019re passionate enough to keep going, MAGIC happens.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
