Why I Posed by Dalila Ali Rajah

My name is Dalila Ali Rajah and I posed for the NOH8 Campaign because art is one of the most powerful movers of hearts and minds. It is time for full equality and equal rights for everyone. I am committed to transforming the dialog between the African-American community and the LGBT community so that we can move forward with a new mutual understanding and respect. As a part of both communities I can see where true understanding often falls through the cracks and why. Visibility is a major part of shifting the cycle, so I choose to stand and be seen.
