Model Imaan Hammam Takes Social Media Hiatus

Imaan Hammam, a Dutch model of Moroccan and Egyptian descent, announced that she will be taking a social media break to reset and reflect.

Hammam announced the news on Instagram recently, urging her one million followers to prioritize their mental well-being.

She also posted a photo of herself wearing a yellow t-shirt bearing a number for the mental health crisis hotline.

“(Wednesday) was a really exciting step forward for the US. But as we celebrate, I also want to remember that the day-to-day struggles people are facing — especially with mental health — don’t just disappear with a new administration. This past Monday (#BlueMonday) was the supposed scientifically proven most depressing day of the year, ”Hammam captioned.

She also encouraged her followers to check out "Enjoy Being in Transition" new music mix curated by one of fashion’s favorite sound designers, Michel Gaubert, to bring peace and harmony and to be a source of relief and inspiration for a society feeling the fatigue and the effects of depression from this past year.

The 24-year-old also added that she has started releasing monthly Spotify playlists in an effort to help uplift her fans’ spirits.

“Speaking of mental health. I am going to take a little break from social for a bit, just to reset and reflect. Sending you guys love and I’ll be back soon,” Hammam concluded.

The 24-year-old isn’t the only supermodel to take a break from social media to prioritize their mental health in recent weeks.

Palestinian-Dutch model Bella Hadid also took a break from the platform at the beginning of this month.

“I took some time away to reflect and learn about myself in a way that would be too much to explain at the moment, but with time I will express. The memories and fortune I came back with are pure wisdom, a closer relationship with myself and my spirituality, a sense of self-love that I have always lacked, a few great friends, and these books that saw me through.” Hadid revealed.
