Making Hijabs Haute with Melanie Elturk

This season we’re featuring Muslim Changemakers—people whose work has had an extraordinary impact in our community and beyond—and I’m so excited to share our conversation with Melanie Elturk. Melanie is the CEO of Haute Hijab, which she founded in 2010.

We’ll talk about the inspiration behind her work, the joys and challenges of building a major business, and how Haute Hijab has transformed access to modest wear in the United States.

Joining me in the co-host chair for this episode is my childhood friend, Salma Ibrahim.
