    I always like to talk about how I got my grandpa's nose, the most distinctive nose in the family. Growing up, it bothered me in the way that it didn't look like the girls around me in its size and slope and shape. Today, however, I am aware of the fact that my nose is a tool for smelling, and to fixate on its curvature and way of being is to waste the precious time I have on this earth that could have been used for something much more important- like building the lego taj mahal.

    Dear Global Citizens,
    We, the students of Bangladesh, are crying out for your support as we face a grave crisis. In our quest for fair and just quota reforms, we have been met with unimaginable brutality from the Chhatra League, a government-affiliated student organization. Our peaceful protests have turned into scenes of horror, with nearly 2500 of us injured and many of our friends and fellow students losing their lives. At least 115 students have been killed by Bangladesh police and the Chhatra League. We want justice.
    The state-controlled media has turned a blind eye to our suffering, silencing our voices and hiding the truth from the world. Seeking freedom and justice has become a crime in our beloved country, and we are being punished for daring to dream of a better future.We urge you to stand with us, to share our story, and to demand justice. Let the world know the truth about our struggle. We need your voice to amplify ours, to show that we are not alone in this fight for fairness and human rights. Together, we can expose the injustice and bring about the change we so desperately need. Please, help us spread the truth and seek justice for the students of Bangladesh#SaveBangladeshistudents

    Farah I’m a guy revert Muslim who lives in a Latino family household. All my life I’ve felt pressured from family to flaunt beauty if we have it and hide our flaws me and my parents are considered “conventionally” attractive. (I’m the only Muslim in the family) and sometimes I’d give into it what they recommend to attract attention. Today I was about to go to the mosque trying to enhance how I look but after you saying you love how people love your character when you’re speaking. Helps me remember when I’m talking to the kids about Islam, and have the best time. My beauty didn’t help them listen but when I’m just me, they sit down and pay attention. That’s better than anything. I swapped and got my nice baggy cloths that I love wearing and about to head there now in sha Allah thanks for the reminder Farah.

Wearing perfume, nice and clean clothing, good hairstyle etc. is part of cleanliness in Islam and is also sunnah. It's recommended to take care of your appearance brother, just be careful not to become obsessive about it and overdo it, and don't do it with the intention of attracting women's attention (but if you're married, of course it's halal to want to look good for your wife).

    As a white girl with a big nose can I just politely and briefly say that big noses are also a ‘white person feature’ (because Europe is a cold place so our ancestors needed bigger noses that would warm up the air we breathe so that it wouldn’t be cold/ hurt when it hit our lungs). I love this video and everything that’s said in it and I’m not trying to take away from it at all, but hating my big nose whilst also hearing over the years things like “it’s okay not to have Eurocentric beauty standards” and “I’m proud of my ethnic nose” and, as said in this video, “fixing my nose to look like a white girl’s nose” just kind of made me feel like I had no reason to be proud of my nose because I’m just white and my nose is just big and that’s that. (I do understand that those messages are important for non-white people who struggle with appearance and try to fit in with society’s beauty standards and in that way I do definitely support them.) But these Eurocentric beauty standards are not even European, white people have very thin lips, asymmetrical faces and big noses, many white celebrities who don’t have these features have had work done. My point is, don’t anyone try to follow so- called ‘European beauty standards’ because even us Europeans don’t fit into them and if you’re a white girl with a big nose and you feel like you don’t have a reason to be proud of it, be proud of it because it’s a part of you. (I apologise if this wasn’t the time or place for this message, I understand this isn’t what the video was about necessarily, I just thought I’d comment to help anyone who had the same insecurity and experience as me and I’m not trying to take away from anyone else’s experience who is not the same as mine 💗.)

    today i held my gerbil
    and I took a video
    I was smiling so hard and laughing because she is so adorable
    in that moment, I was imagining myself how I will look in the video while admiring her
    I was thinking “I’m gonna look so good and pretty/ethereal”
    it was really dumb
    I watched the video back and needless to say I was reminded how terrifying my smile can look through lenses
    I ended up cropping my face out because I liked the video of peanut (is her name) nonetheless
    I’ve been going through struggles with how I look recently and I try to remember that it doesn’t matter how I look, the only thing that matters is how I feel
    Made me laugh lots when you said “I had my slushy on my right , it was great -
    did I look pretty”
    just is so dumb
    and I love it

    Jazaki Allah kheir Farah, I really needed this video. I've been spending too much time on Insta lately and I've noticed that almost every girl looks flawless and so pretty that I started to question myself and my beauty. For the first time in my life I put full makeup on, to keep up with those girls, I wanted to see my beauty to not feel any less. But you reminded me of the actual things we need to take care of, our soul, heart and character. This is what makes us pretty. At the end we will all eventually lose our physical beauty.
    I mean there is nothing wrong with wanting to look pretty but as long as we are pleased with the way Allah swt created us and when going out and with our hijab on we know that "hijab needs to hijab", so I do not need to look pretty with it, it is defeating its purpose.
    May Allah swt help us and keep us firm, aminnn
    Much love sister, jazaki Allahu kheir

I even considered rhinoplasty before I realized I had an Italian nose with Irish features which are looked down upon by English people. It’s really terrible and honestly your nose is so beautiful mashallah truly, it makes me so sad that we must call them imperfect when they are perfect.

    I really needed this, not cause im insecure about my self image (alhamdulilah, I was created by Allah, therefore it's not the best to call Allah's creation ugly), but because my dad believes a woman is married for her beauty first and foremost, meaning a womans beauty is more important than her imaan and adaab. so yea, its good to hear that looks dont really matter in some peoples eyes. im glad there are people out there who value a humans qualities that were created through self-work more that the features they were born with.
    edit: he didnt say it out of no where, he was comparing two girls to ask for my brother for marriage(one is better looking than the other, and without looking at other factors, he chose the prettier one).

    I also grew up in the west and was considered " pretty" by beauty standards, but it didnt gain me the right attention.
    I enjoy being a hijabi, and covering myself anf being happy in private.

    This is surely very empowering, however it’s important to acknowledge that women do these things because they are under societal pressure. The most beautiful girls I know feel miserable on the inside, because to look the way they do, takes a lot of energy and effort, which is motivated by fear of not being likeable, feeling ugly etc. I’m from an ethnic household and since I was a kid I was told to “be skinny, or nobody will marry you”. So, it’s a complex issue that sisters alone can’t fix on their own, it should be a collective responsibility. I’m grateful for the reminder though, and hope that young girls watching this will benefit from it ❤

    Farah your humour is killing me, I've come across your videos bedore but it's been a while since the last time I watched one. You have such a gift for speaking and holding people's attention. You also present ideas in a linear manner without even putting any effort in it. I really admire it when people are able to speak in a fun and articulate manner, I'm always all over the place but looking to improve that.
    The past few years my confidence has really gone down. I don't like my body or my face and I constantly compare myself to all these girls around me that look effortlessly beautiful. I always felt like this but now it's to an unhealthy extent.
    I can't really shake the feeling that as women we tend to appreciate beauty in a manner different from men. We pay attention to the details and love to pick and match colors, patterns, textures. There is men like that too but it's super rare in my experience at least. When beauty is about creativity and appreciation, it's so fun. In terms of fashion, I appreciate it so much when women combine elements of their culture (or even different cultures that they appreciate) and their personal style and favorite colors. It feels amazing when you (have the financial ability to) start picking your clothes to match your skin tone and characteristics instead of trying to match the style of this and that influencer. Makeup is enjoyable if you dont make it about changing your whole face with it. I kid you not, I try to find pictures for lipstick application on small lips (mine are like yours for example) and I either cant find any examples or it's overlining to the heavens. Same goes for a lot of things, you just have to do things for yourself and maybe if you want share it with other girls who are looking for the same tips.
    I have wanted to start my own youtube channel where I do quiet vlogs and book reviews and maybe language learning content and I dont because every time I try to film, I hate how my face looks on camera. I dont mind it half as much in real life and I often go out "bare faced" but God when I see myself in pictures or videos I feel embarrassed.
    We girls really have to stop being afraid of putting ourselves out there just because we don't look a certain way.
    I reverted to Islam a year ago. Im not a hijabi and can't be cause i come from a racist christian country in the balkans but ive been thinking about starting to wear a mantilla (square headscarf) that is more acceptable culturally and won't attract as much negative attention.

    5:30 - Last time I felt ultimately happy was yesterday. It was after I put on the cutest outfit, did an awesome makeup and did my hair. I was done up to the nines and I can't remember when was the last time I felt this happy. But for me all of this, makeup and clothes, are not about beauty. They're about freedom. I have a freedom, because I have resources to do what I want. I have freedom, because I have skill to do what I want. I have freedom, because I live in a place and time when almost everything is allowed. I have freedom and no one can take it from me right now. There is nobody standing above me, telling me that I can't do it. I value it a lot, because not so long ago I just couldn't do it. Now I can be anyone I want and look anyhow I want. I can even eat whenever I want and drink water. And I believe you don't really understand your freedom unless it was taken away from you at some point. It was certainly taken from me, but now I'm free and experiencing it brings me much more joy than anything in this world.
