From the Village to Vogue. What an honor to close this beautiful runway @nyfw for @studiooneeightynine I love the story behind it all and so happy to support. Your love for the culture shines beautifully through your spirits @abrimaerwiah & @rosariodawson – I am so proud of all you are doing for the motherland and happy to support it.”

Hamamat also shared a quote about  pregnancy and encouraged all pregnant women to allow their bodies to go through all the shades of pregnancy with honour.

“To be pregnant is to be vitally alive, thoroughly woman, and distressingly inhabited. Soul and spirit are stretched — along with body — making pregnancy a time of transition, growth, and profound beginnings.

To all pregnant women : being pregnant is an honor no matter how difficult it may seem to love the new body, skin and feelings you have. Allow your body to naturally prepare for the new life ahead – let No amount of hyperpigmentation, stretch marks or fat keep you from shinning bright,” she added.
