For a woman whose life began in Somalia, continued through a Kenyan refugee camp and took shape in the American Midwest, the idea of possibility has never been abstract for our March cover star Ugbad Abdi. When asked what she hopes young girls in similar circumstances see when they look at her story, her answer comes without hesitation. “I tell my younger siblings this all the time,” she says. “There’s an endless world out there. I hope that young girls who look up to me, who are inspired by my story, see that they can dream beyond their scope.”

بالنسبة إلى امرأة بدأت حياتها في الصومال، ثم عبرت مخيمًا للاجئين في كينيا، قبل أن تتشكل ملامح رحلتها في الغرب الأميركي الأوسط، لم يكن معنى التمكين يومًا فكرة مجردة بالنسبة إلى نجمة غلاف شهر مارس - أوغباد عبدي. وعندما سُئلت عما تأمل أن تراه الفتيات الصغيرات اللواتي يعشن ظروفًا مشابهة في قصتها، جاء جوابها من دون تردد:”نصيحتي لإخوتي الصغار طوال الوقت: هناك عالم واسع في الخارج. وآمل أن ترى الفتيات الصغيرات اللواتي ينظرن إلي ويستلهمن من قصتي أن بإمكانهن أن يحلمن بما هو أبعد من حدود واقعهن”.

“‘Will little Ugbad be proud of that?’ That’s the basis of how I move through the world in general,” says our March 2026 cover star Ugbad Abdi who was just 18 when she stepped into a profession that puts intense pressure on aesthetics at an age when most are at their most vulnerable. “I think the visibility at first was interesting to navigate because when I started, I was fresh out of high school,” she recalls, thinking back. “I had no idea who I was or what the bigger picture of my identity meant. Over time I learned to just trust myself, and to not look for outside voices to tell me who I should be.”

“هل كانت أوغباد الصغيرة ستشعر بالفخر حيال ذلك؟” هذه هي رؤية نجمة غلاف هاربرز بازار العربية لعدد شهر مارس 2026 – أوغباد عبدي. امتهنت عرض الأزياء في سن ال18، ذلك المجال الذي يفرض ضغوطًا هائلة ومقاييس مظهر خارجي مثالية على فتيات مراهقات في أشد حالتهم النفسية هشاشة. تستذكر تلك البدايات:” أظن أن هذا الظهور كان صعبًا بالنسبة لي في البداية، لأنني كنت خارجة لتوي من المدرسة الثانوية. لم أكن أعرف من أكون، ولا ما الذي تعنيه الصورة الأكبر لهويتي. مع مرور الوقت، تعلمت أن أثق بنفسي، وألا أسمع للأصوات الخارجية أو عمن يخبرني من ينبغي أن أكون”.
كيف نجحت في أن تكون واحدة من عارضات الأزياء المحجبات المسلمات عالميًا وحافظت على احتشمها كليًا، كل ذلك وأكثر في أحدث أعداد هاربرز بازار العربية المتوفر الآن في الأسواق...
