In the upcoming 'Spider-Man: Far From Home,' British actress and model Zoha Rahman plays the first ever hijabi in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Spider-Man: Far From Home
While Rahman has had a deep passion for acting from a young age, central to her work is the need for better representation of South Asians and Muslims in entertainment. Rahman believes the things we watch shape our lives and who we are. Because of this, seeing characters that look and act like on us on screen, playing normal roles, is a crucial validating experience, especially for children.
“We are still stuck in that little caricature stage,” said Rahman. “I call it the ‘Trio of Ts.’ We’re either the techie, the terrorist, or the taxi driver.”
