Katie, born and raised in a small town in northern Indiana, talks about why she wears the hijab, how she converted to Islam, her very supportive mother, modern feminism she finds in the scriptures of Islam, and how, when she puts on her hijab, she feels as though she is suddenly no longer welcome in her own country. Katie just graduated with a masters in Applied Linguistics from Indiana University in Bloomington.
