At Calypso, Palwasha enjoying both the style and the color.
"Most Afghan girls would never wear this color on the street at home because people would point and make comments. But we all love it, and so they wear it to parties where only the women will see them. I take my chances, however, and do wear bright colors."
--Palwasha
"In New York, it doesn't matter what you wear or how you look here. No one stares at you and asks 'why are you wearing that color, or why are you dressed like that.' No one looks at us strangely. There is no discrimination. I like that."
--Hanifa
