My family told me to remove my hijab for a scholarship interview, otherwise it'd reduce my selection chances. That was my career's defining moment. I took the risk & decided to keep the hijab on.
I not only got selected for the scholarship in a law school, but today after 17 years of law experience, I am appointed as a 1st hijab-wearing judge in UK. - Raffia Arshad.
