Brit mum jailed for joining ISIS reinvents herself as fashion influencer

A Brit mum who served time in prison after travelling to Syria to join ISIS has reinvented herself as fashion influencer.

Tareena Shakil made her way to the war-torn country in 2014 to sign up with the terrorist organisation - while urging her Twitter followers to do the same. However, after returning to the the UK in 2015, she became the first British woman to be prosecuted for joining the militant group and was jailed for six years, the Mirror reports.

Now, Tareena has transformed herself into a fashion guru after being inspired by her favourite TV show, The Only Way Is Essex. Posting as “That girl Tam Tam”, she has gained hundreds of followers on Instagram with her glamorous snaps, featuring the hashtags “fashion blogger”, “street style” and “style inspo”.
