Maltiti in an interview with Kafui Dey on ‘GTV Breakfast Show’ on the award she picked up said young ones looking up to her should be persistent and work to change the status quo using her journey as one of the first female presenters to wear her Hijab on national television after her breakthrough on ‘The Next Tv star’ competition where she emerged 2nd place winner and proved that it was more about capability and delivery than about how different she looked, which for her represents how Muslim women are identified in the world.
