“Vogue Shares Young Muslim Women’s Voices”: Fashion-forward Teen Vogue, in collaboration with MuslimGirl.com (a website whose tagline is "Muslim women talk back"), has a refreshing array of content focusing on young Muslim women's perspectives and experiences in the United States. The#AskaMuslimGirl video series (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7T473sn0hcg) is candid and accessible while articles address numerous issues such as the hijab, dating, female Muslim identity, empowerment, and more. The women profiled present an alternative narrative, albeit it in glamorous Vogue-style, to the usual media stereotypes.

MuslimGirl.net was launched from the bedroom of a high school girl that was fed up with the misleading misconceptions surrounding Islam — the way the news coverage and media outlets kept skewing the image of Muslims into a nasty one; the mistrust, racism, and flat-out hatred that the inaccuracies flamed; the muting of young Muslim voices from mainstream society; and the resulting disillusionment that young Muslims suffer about their religion in the tornado of it all.

"MuslimGirl is taking back the narrative, using their own voices to speak up We are raising the place of Muslim women in mainstream society. We are drawing awareness to the Qur’an’s message of gender equality and Islam’s principle of peace. We are paving the way towards a world in which every woman can raise her head without fear of being attacked for her gender or beliefs."
