Bella Hadid speaks about the difficulty in speaking up when your career is on the line - However for her it's about principle; what is morally and ethically correct.
Bella Hadid's story is also one of unwavering connection to her Palestinian heritage and a passionate voice for human rights. Born in Washington D.C. to a Palestinian-American real estate developer father and a Dutch-American former model mother, Hadid grew up surrounded by both the glitz and glamour of the fashion world and the stories of her family's displacement from Palestine. As a teenager, she discovered her voice as an advocate, participating in pro-Palestine rallies and speaking out against the Israeli occupation.
In 2017, she sparked worldwide discussion when she shared a photo of herself holding a Palestinian flag at a protest, drawing both praise and criticism. Her actions go beyond social media posts. Hadid actively supports organizations like the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which provides crucial humanitarian aid to Palestinian refugees, and has traveled to the region to witness the situation firsthand. In 2021, she visited Gaza during the May conflict, sharing heartbreaking images of the devastation and calling for an end to the violence.
Hadid's advocacy has not been without challenges. She has faced accusations of anti-Semitism, which she vehemently denies, and her outspokenness has led to boycotts and online harassment. Yet, she remains undeterred, stating: "I will never stop speaking out about injustice, whether it's happening in Palestine or anywhere else in the world."
Bella Hadid's story is a testament to the power of using one's voice to advocate for change. She believes in social justice and speaking out against oppression. In her own words, "Being Palestinian is not a trend. It's who I am, it's my blood, and it's something I'm incredibly proud of."
