Amani Al-Khatahtbeh is an American author and tech entrepreneur. She is the founder and editor of MuslimGirl.com, an online magazine for Muslim women.
At 23 years old, she became the first veiled Muslim woman to land on the Forbes 30 Under 30 in media, making MuslimGirl the first Muslim company to ever be named to the list. She was named by CNN as one of 25 most influential Muslim Americans at age 25.
Amani Al-Khatahtbeh says “Being a rule breaker means standing for what you believe in, even if you’re the only voice. It gets really scary to be a voice that defies the status quo, but you won’t believe how many people are yearning to do just that. Being a rule breaker is really just defying the pressure to stay silent, defying the pressure to move away from who you are to appease other people. And yeah, just to stay authentic”.
