Beyond the Veil with Melanie Elturk

HAKAWATI | حكواتي
About this episode

Today, we delve into the world of Melanie Elturk, a beacon of innovation and strength in the face of adversity. From a biracial upbringing caught between the worlds of Islam and Christianity, to the highs of fashion entrepreneurship and the lows of personal and professional trials, Melanie's journey is a testament to the power of self-discovery and faith. 

As the founder of Haute Hijab, she revolutionized the way Muslim women express themselves, merging fashion with faith at a time when the concept seemed distant. Yet, amidst soaring success, Melanie faced her deepest challenges: the loss of her brother, a marriage pushed to its limits, and a business threatened by unforeseen global upheaval. 

Join us as we explore Melanie's path from shattering to rebuilding—a journey of ego death, rebirth, and the relentless pursuit of bringing the Hijab into mainstream acceptance.
