    Da Silva said she wanted to break the norm of companies catering to Muslim women but only using light-skin models.

    Habiba Da silva's campaign for skin is really dope.

    However, Da Silva told BuzzFeed News: "I have put so much [investment] and effort into ... this. I literally can't go anywhere else with the price."
