When people asked young Hammasa Kohestani what she wanted to be when she grew up, she responded that she was *going* to be a model, not that she *wanted* to be a model. She had this dream since she was 6 years old, but it started to feel further and further away as she entered her teenage years.

That’s because she was born to Afghan parents, spent her early childhood in Russia, and then moved to the UK as a teen. Models and pageant queens in England simply didn’t look or talk like her.

But that didn’t stop her. At 18 years old, Hammasa Kohestani was the first British-Afghan Muslim to be crowned Miss England in 2005. She’s been in the fashion and modeling industry for 20 years, an uncommonly long time, and has faced immense racism and sexism throughout her career. All the while, she stuck to her values and encourages other young women to do the same.

In this episode of Stories of Transformation, hear about Hammasa’s experience as an Afghan Muslim model and how hard she fought to be accepted, how she made global headlines by calling out the British Prime Minister on his Islamophobic remarks, and much more.
