Global Pink Hijab Day

Global Pink Hijab Day was an initiative that began as an experiment by founder, Hend El-Buri and a group of high school students in Columbia, Missouri.

Pink Hijab Day events are held in countries like Australia, Bulgaria, Canada, and South Africa, as well as States across America.

Inspired by the Pink Hijab Day movement the Muslim Southern Belle Charities Incorporated began participating in 2007.

Entertainment consisted of the Muslim Southern Belle version of the Hijabi Monologues to instill women empowerment through storytelling.

Speakers included Chrystal Said, the founder and president of Muslim Southern Belle Charities incorporated, a breast cancer survivor and a local OB/GYN.
