women our incredible examples
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41

relegating our understanding of
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:46
			modesty to a specific version of
what modesty looks like that we

00:00:49 --> 00:00:53

and carrying yourself in ways that
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:58
			honor the tradition of modesty for
men and for women in bringing us
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:58
			closer to God, you.
