Family backlash, denial, an emotionally unsupportive marriage, social rejection from wearing a hijab and the pressure to keep her OCD a secret didn’t hold this woman back one bit. Ball busting family law litigator and mediator, Jeanann Khalife gets down to the bottom of how self-

care helped her survive OCD and societal scrutiny over her voluntary decision to wear a hijab. Does the hijab equate to a submissive and quiet woman? Is the hijab exclusive of fun? Why would a woman choose a commitment to God over accentuating the curves of her body? This

under-cover (pun intended) vixen answers it all. And an offer she couldn’t refuse – the Pink Wig

Proposal – which she DID refuse and why! In a world of stigma, she even dares to clap back on why men aren’t wearing hijabs. Is it a contradiction to educate hijab women? Jeanann is the

living, breathing epitome of a woman who is willing to live on the edge of her own life. She

even promised to take me to an all-female private beach in the middle east where women can let it all hang loose. She urges, if being half-naked is feminism, why can’t wearing a hijab be?

Jeanann puts her heart and guts on the table and shares her difficult journey with Scrupulosity

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and how her fear of committing a sin and behaving

morally turned into a triggering obsession. Find out how an intellectual woman under the

stronghold of subconscious programming came out of it unscathed on the other side!
