About the Job

36 year old Black Female. Hajr, formerly known as Natalie, grew up in a strict Catholic household. In order to feel a freedom in her life, she rebelled, causing her to end up pregnant at 16. While pregnant, and dealing with a fraying relationship with her parents, mainly her mom, she began to learn about Islam, leading her to convert at age 18 and get kicked out of the house with her daughter. Hajr hasn’t spoken to her mother since the day she was thrown out, and has prided herself on keeping her head up in order to survive and raise her daughter. While she appears confident and sure of herself, she always has a looming anxiety that it will all fall away if she is ever face to face with her mother again. Hijabi. LEAD. SHOOTS 4 DAYS. May 29-June 1.
