With an Instagram account that boasts well over 250,000 followers, Saman Munir has really made a name for herself in the world of fitness, makeup and fashion. And perhaps what’s most inspiring about this Canadian-born blogger is the way she uses her hijab as a symbol of strength as opposed to one of oppression.
The 37-year-old chose to wear the hijab the day after her 24th birthday, and the mother of three says she will never force her eldest child and only daughter to wear one, but would rather guide her in the direction of what makes her comfortable. Munir has never been afraid to pursue her true passion, and she proved that when she left her high-powered job as a quality control specialist at an automotive aerospace company to take care of her newborn daughter. Something that was possible, she says, because of her loving and supportive husband. There’s no stopping Munir now who is on the fast track and not looking back as one of the country’s fastest-growing beauty bloggers.
She has collaborated with more than 100 companies in her video tutorials, including M.A.C. Cosmetics, Estée Lauder and CoverGirl and has been featured in numerous mainstream magazines like Fashion, Flare and PopSugar. The avid fitness advocate is also a brand ambassador for her local UFC Gym and, more recently, she became an influencer with the sports apparel brand Under Armour and Supplement Superstore Canada.
Through these fitness collaborations Munir is inadvertently breaking down the many misconceptions about Muslim women and captivating people around the world.
