Mona Haydar, a Syrian Muslim-American poet and activist, released her first-ever single and rap music video in honor of the world's first-ever Muslim Women's Day on Mar 27 ... all while she's pregnant.



Given the current rise of Islamophobia around the world, Haydar wanted to fight the hate. And what better way to do that than with music?

"This song is a party," Haydar wrote in a Facebook post.

After the song went live, some people began shaming Haydar and the other hijabis in the video for having fun, as they sing and dance away.

"So even if you hate it - I still wrap my hijab!" the lyrics say in anticipation of the hateful remarks.

But, Haydar did not let the hate ruin the moment, and instead kept on celebrating.
