Award-winning Libyan-American journalist Nour Tagouri has long championed the voices and stories of those of lower social status through his investigative documentary work. It is the lack of such stories that compelled Tagouri to fill the void. Growing up, she had never seen diverse women on screen telling stories that were representative of the multicultural world we live in. Not at first, anyway. [Says 27-year-old Tagouri. 'I had never seen myself, a woman in a hijab, on television. 'I saw people like Lisa Lange, Oprah, Soledad O'Brien, and Christiane Amanpour because I felt they had a similar background to me. Because they felt like they had a similar background to me. They talked about things that I was interested in and could relate to.

Despite being overlooked early on for broadcast work, Tajo was determined to tell the stories of marginalized people on the main stage. Talk about manifestation: in 2012, she posted a photo on Facebook, sharing her dream of becoming the first hijab-wearing anchor in the United States on commercial television. The photo went viral and the #LetNoorShine hashtag gained traction, giving Tagouri's work due recognition. She took a job at CBS and later moved to Newsy, where she produced the podcast Sold in America.

Much of her subsequent work, like "Sold in America," has served as a megaphone for the voiceless. She has just launched a new season of the guided storytelling podcast Noor, is in pre-production (opens in new tab) on a documentary about the misrepresentation of Muslims in American media since 9/11, and is co-founder with her husband Adam Kafif of She also heads At Your Service, a multimedia production company she co-founded with her husband, Adam Kafif.

Here are some of the things she wears to get through the day feeling powerful, including the hijab.

There is a swimming quarry right near our house (in upstate New York) and we used to jump into the polar pond every morning. That completely changed my life. Cold therapy activates the nervous system and basically just removes a layer of anxiety. When I jump in, I don't feel cold, I just feel survival. It's very calming. When I do it when my mind is foggy, it's very clear.

Then I work out. I have an indoor cycling bike, but it's not a peloton. I do AARMY, founded by Akin Akman and Angela Davis, which has been a lifesaver during this time. It's very intentional. I wear a hijab, which makes working out at home so much more fun. If I go to the gym, I had to (wear) a light hoodie and pants, but now I wear regular workout clothes at home, like a sports bra and shorts. It makes working out really fun. I like having a sacred space. There are very, very few clothing options for hijab-wearing women to wear for workouts, and none of the brands I know of are my cup of tea. I've felt that way for the past 10 years. But I usually mix and match Outdoor Voices, Bandier, and Adidas.

Her dressing strategy: now that I live in the mountains, the process is a little different. Especially in the winter, mornings tend to be chilly. She loves cashmere turtlenecks; they keep her warm and cozy. Right now I love a hoodie that my husband Adam made with his mentor that says "Produced by" and another that says "Written by. I've been wearing it a lot lately because we started our production company to maintain our credibility for the work we do in the world. Leggings or sweats underneath.

Lately I've been into nice, luxurious clothes that are really comfortable, like Woolrich. Woolrich has a totally mountain vibe. I love their flannel pants with fringe on the sides. They also have shirts that look like jackets. "shackets" (opens in new tab)] are fabulous. For accessories, I consistently wear gold hoops from Mejuri.

Late afternoons and evenings, I have more speaking engagements. When I do, I change into the kind of clothes I would wear for a face-to-face meeting. I have a couple of cashmere Zimmermann turtlenecks that I love, and I layer them. Sometimes I'll layer a silk scarf, depending on how I'm wrapping my hijab.

The last time I spoke to you in person was at a marketing conference in Miami. It was the first week of March last year. That was the first time I wore a manolo. (I was a big fan of "Sex and the City.") But my relationship with heels has completely changed. I recently wore Thom Browne heels for 6 hours straight and literally cried at the end because I hadn't worn heels in so long. I don't think I'll be wearing heels regularly anymore. Instead, I'm sticking to boots - a really great pair of Tamara Mellon boots that are stylish, but do the job just fine. I bought snow boots from a local snowshoe store, and I also bought a pair of Yaktrax, which are great for walking in the snow.

I really like the Prada button-up. It has studs on the collar. They have studs on the collar and they always make me feel fabulous. Prada not only conveys your smart side, it lets people know that you have a really cool personality.

Curious. My style is very emotional. Like, I'm ready to talk about my feelings. But that's my whole vibe. When I wear what I wear and I am who I am, I know it's okay to let me in on my secrets.
