Our Conversation with Writer, Poet and Activist Ainee Fatima, 1st Hijabi on America's Seventeen Magazine

By now you probably already picked up Seventeen's magazine at your local newsstand and came to a page of a young lady that you can identify with from the inside and/or the outside. Maybe you heard all the rave about a hijabi on a U.S. non-Muslim based magazine. Who is she? Why is it a big deal? Well, without a doubt Muslims have appeared and are working in non-based Muslim magazines in the U.S. as writers, stylists and other occupations, but it is very rare to see a Muslim covered young lady on one of America's most circulated magazines geared to the youth. American magazine Seventeen has been in circulation since the 1940's. It was America's 1st magazine catered to teenagers. Well, this month Seventeen got its own first; Ainee Fatima was the first Muslim American young lady to appear wearing a headscarf in it.
