OK, fine, one more. But I promise you, I'm not writing anything else for March. This is the last one until tomorrow. (Edit: I changed my mind on this but that doesn't mean Nemahsis does not deserve your attention).
Nemahsis is a proud hijab-wearing Palestinian-Canadian woman who is making fantastic music. She won a couple of Junos last night, including one for Breakthrough Artist of the Year.
She frequently sings about the hijab and the unique struggles of being Muslim in Canada in the 21st century. That is NOT what this song is about, though. It's about a girl who liked a shirt she saw her friend wearing and, well, she got her own.
Anyway, she's young and cool and different and I encourage you to check her out.
