Writer and entrepreneur Amani Al-Khatahtbeh is just 24 years old and has already made a name for herself as one of the most prominent Muslim media personalities in the U.S. today. Al-Khatahtbeh is editor-in-chief of MuslimGirl.com , a website she founded when she was 17, and she recently published a memoir describing what it was like growing up Muslim in a post-9/11 America. Al-Khatahtbeh regularly opines about issues of Islamophobia, diversity and representation in the media. During a panel at The White House’s first United State of Women Summit, Al-Khatahtbeh said : “One of the most important things for us to do to amplify [Muslim] voices is to pass the mic whenever we have it. If there’s someone that can speak to a lived experience that you cannot, do not take up that space, do not speak on their behalf, let them speak for themselves.” Preach.
