Yasmin Allas Dutch writer

such an interesting concept for a photo, what is it screaming out...n I like how she is a dutch writer instead of a somali-dutch writer

what is it screaming out??????????????????

There is just soo much going on in this photo that an essay can be written on it...I'll give you a few pointers...look at how the writers arm is placed, look at the girl with her finger to her mouth, look at the angle of the writers' face and eyes, the girl on the right side looking at her, the book open infornt of her, the choice of clothing....to me they all point to a yesterday and tomorrow as the writer gazes on the unknown keeping herself sheltered (arms crossed)...yeah really an essay...now I'm just wondering what was going through her mind

take a cold shower waryaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa lol

[BlueEpocha]

hmmm I dont think you got where I was going with this, I just want you to read the body languages in the photo and make your own conclusions...but for now I'll side with Northern...the writer is the light of tomorrow and the girls are the dark yesterday

Astonishing BlueEpocha for u have seen the un-noticeable by some (including me)

At 1st I was annoyed by her pic but after reading ur pointers, I can now appreciate the picture under different aspect.

To me a pictures usually says 2 things, Good times or bad times .. that’s it!!! The rest is pink skies 2 me.

 

Anyways, I highly doubt that was staged by anyone.. its just another picture with halimo showing off her new dirac, I bet

 

David_Letterman Thanks for bring this 2 us. its really a great pleasure 2 see our women doing such remarkable jobs, May god bless them and their family

Apart from or two .. the ladies lack modesty ... may they go towards tat route and cover up more .. than i would appricite their acheivements a lot more.

[Ms DD]

That pic says to me " be liberal and educated and you will find the future. Be conservative, and you are stuck in dark ages".

 

Maybe it is the religiosity in me.

[J.Lee]

The hijab is seen as constraints of sorts so I think the picture is supposed to symbolise throwing your inhibitions away and not being afraid to be different. Or it could have something to do with her childhood and how she became a writer. Maybe, it's to show young girl what they could amount to or someone they could look up to.

So u think they should warp some more cloths on, and you think they are somehow naked. So they are supposed to be covered more, in a different way. the only way that you like and pleases you.hmmm

 

Well, they are covered and they are keeping themselves modest enough. Well done to them, am so happy to see somali women doing good.

This is why we no longer can tolerate each other as somalis. Your hateful souls are too deep into your skins, no turning back now.

 

Btw, to the haters, no one forced you to appreciate anyone's acheivement, if you don't like how a certain individual presents themselves, then turn your back and look else where.

 

Poster, this is what I meant when I said, do not post people you have no clue about without their consent on a somali forum, because they will be taken apart, piece by piece and they don't deserve that. Posting pictures will only have these people showcase how far their hate has spread, it will not serve anymore purpose.
