Hoda Katebi

Hoda Katebi (Farsi: هدى كاتبى) is an Iranian-American Muslim fashion blogger, author, and photographer based in Chicago, Illinois. Katebi is the proprietor of JooJoo Azad (Farsi: جوجو آزاد), which she describes as an "[u]napologetic political fashion blog" and a "radical online platform dedicated to the integration of ethical fashion and activism through an anti-capitalist, intersectional-feminist, lens." [1]

Education

Katebi graduated from the University of Chicago in 2016 with The Bachelor of Arts in Global Studies and Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations. [1] [2] [3]

Career

Books

Katebi's photography book, Tehran Streetsyle, was published in March 2016 and documents the underground fashion industry in Tehran, Iran. [3]

Viral Television Appearance

On 31 January 2018 Katebi was invited on to WGN Morning News to ostensibly discuss her life and work. The conversation took an unexpected turn when co-anchor Larry Potash asked Katebi about nuclear program of Iran. After Katebi proceeded to detail the history of American interventionism (politics) in the Middle East, co-anchor Robin Baumgartner responded to Katebi by saying "You do not sound American." The interview went viral after Katebi posted it to her blog on 10 February and attracted international attention due to the perceived xenophobia and Islamophobia of the anchors as well as Katebi's composure in answering their questions. Baumgartner and Potash have since apologized to Katebi. [1] [6] [7] [13]
