Firstly, I'm not here to represent anything.
But also, I reminded them that when my brother moved to the UK, they immediately switched to jeans and T-shirts, and we did not receive a single call from relatives or any backlash.
And then they were worried about, you know, how are we going to respond to that?
And I said,
I'm not going to respond to any of this because people will always have something to say about what we wear, our headscarf to our jeans.
So the best thing to do is keep wearing jeans and that's the best response.
You know, I have seen social media backlash many, many times.
And I have learned to live with it.
Honestly, like, if it's a good feedback, I take it with me.
But a lot of the times, the attempt is to stop us and to silence us from our work.
And I'm like, that's never going to happen.
And I'm like, I hope they get tired of typing the hateful comments.
Like, they will.
They'll get tired.
But then on the other hand is my mom.
And I can never argue with my mom.
She will never be tired of typing.
No, she...
Typing, speaking, whatever you call it, the look that she gives you.
And I am, like, terrified when I'm in front of my mom.
