Empowering Muslim Women and the Broader Community

Our work extends its loving embrace to both Muslim women and the broader community. For Muslim women, we create a space where they can be portrayed as they truly are, shattering misconceptions and empowering them to embrace their identities with confidence. For the broader community, we invite them to honor and celebrate Muslim women and their hijab, bridging divides and fostering genuine inclusivity.

A Vision for Empowerment

At HQ Foundation, we envision a future where every major city in the US proudly boasts a Hijabi Queens Mural, each one representing the strength and resilience of Muslim women. Our vision extends beyond murals, as we eagerly anticipate the release of a short film showcasing the remarkable accomplishments of hijabi women, further promoting inclusivity and understanding. Workshops designed for kids and teens will champion the importance of unity and diversity, creating a ripple effect of positive change.

Collaboration and Impact

At HQ Foundation, we understand the power of collaboration.

We have also teamed up with esteemed public figures and organizations to bring our initiatives to life, creating a harmonious tapestry of support and empowerment. For instance, collaborating with Insight Academy in Los Angeles to unite their “Decorate Your Own Hijab” event with our Hijabi Queens Workshop!
