Halima Aden is a Muslim, Somali-American from Kenya who wears the hijab. She鈥檚 also a supermodel working with some of the world鈥檚 biggest fashion labels and photographers, and the first hijab-wearing model to feature on the cover of British Vogue.

鈥淚 am not afraid of being the first鈥�, she says with a smile. 鈥淚 have an opportunity, through my modelling, to change the way that Muslim women are viewed, to give them a platform to have their voices heard, I鈥檓 mindful, and proud, of that responsibility.鈥�

This Heart and Soul follows Halima as she models on catwalks across the globe, to explore how she stays faithful to Islam while displaying herself so publicly.

At New York Fashion Week she demands to wear her hijab in all shows and shoots, and explains how that has led to friction with designers. But she also faces conflict with her family, who don鈥檛 approve, telling her that she is 鈥渘ot being Muslim enough鈥�.

Can Halima maintain a supermodel career and her relationship with her faith?
