Aden told TEGNA station KARE that wearing more modest clothing makes her feel most like herself.
“A lot of people will look at you and will fail to see your beauty because you’re covered up and they’re not used to it. So growing up, I just had to work on my people skills and give people a chance to really know me besides the clothing,” she said. “Be who you are. It’s easy to feel like you have to blend in, but it takes courage to live your life with conviction and embrace the person that you are.”
Aden, one of 45 contestants in the pageant that continues Sunday, is competing to represent Minnesota in the Miss USA pageant in 2017.
Ms. Aden tells her fellow Somali Muslims that they are ’empowered’ and can do whatever they want. Of course, she makes that statement within the United States, not Mosel.

KNOCK THIS STUPID$#%&!@*OFF
You know this is all f**e. If anyone was Muslim they are not supposed to be in a pageant. Goes to show you how stupid people really are to think this was a true Muslim.
She should be banned ,if she does not wear the same as everyone else!
How the hell is a woman in a long bathrobe and a long towel over her head considered to be in a beauty contest???? If they wanna wear their religious outfits, then git your own damn contest going.
STUPIDITY!!!!!!!!!!
