| Info | Amani Al-Khatahtbeh prides herself on being a born-and-raised Jersey girl. She is a proud child of immigrants and the founder of MuslimGirl.com, the biggest online platform for Muslim women in Western society. Amani has been vocal about her experiences growing up in an immigrant family post-9/11 and is a leading critic of the Trump administration’s policies towards communities of color.
Amani is a 28-year-old congressional candidate in NJ-6 and the first Muslim woman in U.S. history to run for federal office in New Jersey. She is running on a progressive platform fighting for the Green New Deal, Medicare for All, Education for All, and fighting for equal wages.
AMANI is an author, activist, and the founder and editor-in-chief of the award-winning MuslimGirl.com, the premiere online platform for Muslim women’s voices in Western societies. Her keen eye for diverse opportunity in entrepreneurialism grew her teenage blog to become the first Muslim company on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, making her the first veiled Muslim woman to be listed in media.
At the age of 25, CNN named AMANI as one of “25 Most Influential American Muslims.” Her voice is an authority making an impact in mainstream audiences as an MTV host, Youtube Creators for Change ambassador, Forbes columnist and beyond. The New York Times selected her first book, “Muslim Girl: A Coming of Age” (Simon & Schuster) as an Editor’s Pick and dubbed her a “media titan.”
AMANI has spoken alongside President Bill Clinton, Gloria Steinem, Shonda Rhimes and many others. Among many projects, she created the award-winning #AskAMuslimGirl web series with Teen Vogue and starred in the Emmy-nominated “Secret Life of Muslims.” She was the youngest jury member to serve at the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity. She disrupts industries with honest interdisciplinary storytelling that spans production, design, writing and hosting.
