When Revlon recently announced Wonder Woman's Gal Gadot as brand ambassador for its newest "Live Boldly" campaign, it emphasized her message of empowerment. To celebrate the initiative further, the beauty brand recently gave MuslimGirl's Amani Al-Khatahtbeh the Changemaker Award, in recognition of her inspirational advocacy for Muslim women. However, Amani took to social media to share her thoughts with her followers, as she explained why she had decided not to accept and why her values don't align with Gal's ambassadorship.

"I cannot accept this award from Revlon with Gal Gadot as the ambassador," Amani wrote in an Instagram. "Her vocal support of the Israeli Defense Forces' actions in Palestine goes against MuslimGirl.com’s morals and values. I can't, in good conscience, accept this award from the brand and celebrate Gal's ambassadorship after the IDF imprisoned a 16-year-old girl named Ahed Tamimi last month, an activist who is currently still incarcerated."

MuslimGirl.com clears up society's misconceptions about Muslim women and stands up for the way they're misrepresented worldwide, especially in the media. "It's easy to get caught up in convos about women's empowerment right now, which is why it's so important for us to stay woke about who's getting left out of the conversation and give them space whenever we can," Amani told Teen Vogue. "We have to make sure that our feminism is inclusive of [all] women of color because history has taught us that we can't compromise on liberation."

Gal previously served for a few years in the IDF and has a history of showing her support for the Israeli army, something Amani felt was important to address.

"It means so much to me when @muslimgirl's work is recognized and elevated in spaces from which we've been traditionally excluded," she added in her caption. "But that's what makes it even more important at this moment to elevate and stand up for ALL women and girls. This shouldn't have to be said, but we can't accept role models that support the oppression of women and girls in other parts of the world."

Teen Vogue has reached out to Revlon for comment and will update this story as more information comes in.
