For the first time ever, a Muslim woman wearing a hijab was pictured in the historically risqué pages of Playboy, The Mashable reports.

The magazine named her one of its 2016 Renegades, a series honoring men and women in industries from media and porn to comedy and video game development. It's part of Playboy's no-nude efforts since it stopped publishing naked photographs last October.

Playboy describes Tagouri as a woman on the road to becoming the first hijab-wearing news anchor in the U.S., calling her “a badass activist with a passion for demanding change and asking the right questions, accompanied by beauty-ad-campaign looks.”

An on-air reporter for Newsy, Tagouri spoke to Playboy about modesty, the emotional challenges of journalism, prejudice against Muslim-Americans in the current political climate, and breaking glass ceilings.

As a journalist, Tagouri said gaining the trust of interviewees is something she's equipped to do, given her own struggles.

“To be honest, I think being a hijabi Muslim woman, helped me gain that trust,” she told Playboy.  “I know what it’s like to have the narrative of our community be skewed and exploited in the media.  I was like, 'Hey, I know what it’s like to be misrepresented in the media.  I won’t do that to you. I want to tell your story because it’s important and deserves justice.’”

On social media, Tagouri has gained something of a cult following.  Back in 2012, her campaign for advocating individuality called #LetNoorShine went viral.  The hashtag has come back to life since her Playboy feature, along with other shows of support.
