A Milpitas woman who was hiking at Mission Peak in Fremont wearing a headscarf had her car vandalized, purse stolen, and found a note left there assuming her scarf was a hijab, saying “This is our nation now.”
In fact, she wears the scarf due to hair loss from a battle with lupus.
Solonica “Nicki” Pancholy says she’ll be hiking to the top of Mission Peak every day for 65 days in a “peace hike” honoring her grandfather, and processing the election, and she’ll now be doing it with the hope of ending ignorance too.
