little me when i saw anyone relatively Arab coded on western TV not portrayed as a terrorist:

i remember crying my eyes out in a sephora once bc one of the employees compared me to HudaBeauty & after being compared to terrorists for so long it was overwhelming. so shout out Huda Kattan, ur an Iraqi 🇮🇶 hero to so many people. 

Representation means a lot more to those who never had it /-:

Representation matters and can have a powerful impact on those who have been marginalized
