Pathbreakers of Arab America–Fourteenth in Series: Huda Kattan and Sisters Mona and Alya
This is the fourteenth in Arab America’s series on American pathbreakers of Arab descent. The series includes personalities from entertainment, business, sports, science, academia, and politics, among other areas. Arab America contributing writer, John Mason, highlights our fourteenth pathbreaker, Huda Kattan and her sisters, Mona and Alya, born and raised in the U.S. to Iraqi Muslim immigrants and now based in Dubai. These savvy entrepreneurs have built their billion-dollar beauty cosmetics empire from the ground up and Huda Beauty now ranks as one of the world’s most in-demand makeup brands. The sisters are actively involved as philanthropists and activists, supporting oppressed people around the world, including in the U.S. and Palestine.
