@maiomaofficial: In April 2019, Alaa Salah stood on a car in a white toub, golden crescent earrings, voice carrying across Sudan. The world called her "Sudan's Statue of Liberty." The white toub wasn't a coincidence. Since the 1940s, Sudanese women wore it to protest British colonialism. White for peace, the toub for an identity that refuses to give up in the face of injustice. During the 2018 revolution, women made up 60–70% of protesters. Not in the background. But at the centre of it all. This is what fashion carries when it means something. Follow @maiomaofficial for more Arab stories.
