History

The concept of Hot Girl Walk was created in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic when American student Mia Lind, a graduate of the University of Southern California, began taking four-mile walks as a means of relieving stress. [2] [3] [1] During these walks, Lind reflected on gratitude, goals, and confidence, and she began calling it a "Hot Girl Walk". She began to promote the concept on TikTok under her account "exactlyliketheothergirls" on January 23, 2021. [4] [5] [6] [7] [2] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15]

Lind trademarked the name "Hot Girl Walk" in April 2021, receiving official trademark status from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) on April 25, 2023. [16] She established Hot Girl Walk LLC in February 2023, based in California and registered in Delaware (File Number: 7286657). [17] She subsequently registered the trademark in the United Kingdom, the European Union, Japan, Monaco and Canada. [18] Hot Girl Walk LLC also has several trademarks filed with the USPTO and in other countries for additional classes andservices, including the term HGW as a shorthand for Hot Girl Walk (Registration Number: 7037847). [19]

In 2023 Hot Girl Walk began a marketing partnership with the fitness app company Strava. [20] [21]

"Mia Khalifa" (originally titled "Mia Khalifa (Diss)", also known as "Hit or Miss", and sometimes stylized as "MiA KHALiFA") is a song by American hip hop group iLoveFriday (stylized as iLOVEFRiDAY). The duo of Atlanta-based rappers Aqsa Malik (also known as Smoke Hijabi) and Xeno Carr self-released the song on February 12, 2018, which was later re-released by Records Co and Columbia Records on December 14, 2018. It was included on their second EP, Mood (2019). The song was produced by Carr. The song is a diss track targeting Mia Khalifa, a Lebanese-American Internet celebrity and former pornographic actress. The decision to write a song dissing Khalifa arose over a misunderstanding. A faked screenshot, intended as a joke, seemed to show Khalifa, who once appeared in a pornographic film wearing a hijab, criticizing Malik for smoking while wearing a hijab in a music video. iLoveFriday thought the screenshot was legitimate.
