The woman behind the hijab | Zena Ibrahim | TEDxPerth

Do preconceived ideas about identity prevent us from properly understanding those around us? Zenatalla Ibrahim shares her journey from nude modelling to wearing a head scarf as a Muslim woman. Zena is a member of the Access Department at UWA, advocating and representing students with chronic illness, disability and mental illness. She is also volunteer with PennyAppeal Australia, a not-for-profit organisation working in over 30 crisis-hit countries worldwide, and a speaker with BeyondBlue sharing her own personal story about mental illness. Zena recently returned to her birth religion (Islam) as a revert and is a vocal activist and advocate for women in Islam and mental health within the Muslim community. She is a postgraduate dental student at the University of Western Australia. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
