Personal life
Family
- Father – Abdelhamid Hammam
- Mother – Mbarka Belouta
She has Egyptian ancestry on her dad’s side and is of Moroccan descent on her mom’s side.
Imaan Hammam was born in Amsterdam, Netherlands, to an Egyptian father and a Moroccan mother. She is a Muslim. Although she has been described as being “Middle Eastern“, she does not see herself as such and identifies as Afro-Arab.
“Sometimes people call me Middle Eastern, and I’m like, ‘No, I’m black.’ I am proud of my culture, proud of who made me, proud to be here.”
“I’m half Moroccan, half Egyptian, and I was born in Amsterdam. I’m Muslim, and I’m superproud of my heritage and of my roots. I want to be a role model for young girls who are struggling with racism or struggling with their looks or with their skin color. I had Naomi Campbell, who I looked up to as a black powerful woman. But there aren’t many Arabic models, and being an African-Arabic model, I’m trying to open doors for more Arabic girls.”
In 2019, Imaan announced a partnership with nonprofit organization She’s the First as the organization’s first global ambassador. On November 18, 2021, Imaan was honored by She’s the First as the “Powerhouse of the Year” in a virtual awards ceremony, with the award presented by Anna Wintour. On Instagram, Imaan shared her thoughts on the honor: “I am so honored to be receiving the first-ever Powerhouse of the Year Award, standing alongside girls who have been breaking barriers and advancing public health initiatives in their communities as we show the world what true power looks like. Unfortunately, as Covid-19 is still a threat – She’s the First’s services are especially needed as vaccine access in these girls’ communities remains limited.”
In June 2020, she shared a series of infographics on Instagram created by the Students for Justice in Palestine at Georgetown University. Her post was done to call attention to the Israeli-Palestine conflict in West Asia. In December 2021, she volunteered for a food kitchen in New York City, along with models Melodie Monrose, Madison Headrick, and Cora Emmanuel, to help address the food insecurity problem in the area.
