I have been following Samia for a few months and I love her videos despite not being a hijabi or in any way fashionable. Her whole attitude just makes me smile every time.

"...to keep it halal..."
Just saw a video of hers for the first time last night, and loved it. Thanks for sharing, jaquilynne!

Someone linked to her in a reddit thread I was reading last week and I think I got sucked into her content for the better part of an hour. My favorite videos of hers are the ones where she takes a garment and shows a handful of different styling options for it. No matter how you dress or present, we can probably all do better about learning to look at the stuff we already have with a fresh eye to get more/better use out of it before buying something new. Fashion waste is out of control.

I'm delighted to see Samia getting more popular! Even if you're not that fashionable (I'm not) and even if you don't wear a hijab (I don't), her charm and charisma will win you over

Oh she's fantastic. I am the biggest schlub I know but I find fashion, especially women's fashion, fascinating and I really enjoy watching someone so talented.

well that is some awesome stuff. I had not heard of her, and I am no longer on Insta. I was expecting someone really young, and appreciate that she is not in her 20s! her sense of style and repurposing items is finely honed and she looks amazing!
