Black girl Quote by SZA

“Wearing a hijab never made me feel any more conservative…” quote by SZA — Download Open image

“Wearing a hijab never made me feel any more conservative - it made me feel safe. Then, after 9/11, I became the butt of a joke on the playground, so I stopped wearing it. Kids can be really cruel when you're the only black girl in your Girl Scout troop.”
