Muslim activist and author Blair Imani hails Aden as a game changer. “She’s an absolute powerhouse,” she said to ESSENCE. “She’s constantly giving back and lifting others up. It would be very easy to stick a model who doesn’t usually wear hijab in a scarf for a shoot or a runway show, but Halima’s presence shows me and many others that we matter, and our looks and styles are more than a trend.”
