Nadine Jolie Courtney Biography

Nadine Jolie Courtney is a journalist and editor whose work has appeared in Town & Country, Vogue, Architectural Digest, Robb Report, GQ, and Angeleno. She has appeared on CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, and Bravo. A graduate of Barnard College, she is author of the YA novel Romancing the Throne, as well as Confessions of a Beauty Addict and the bestselling beauty guide Beauty Confidential. She lives in Santa Monica, California with her family.

From the author's website
As a blonde-haired, green-eyed Muslim of Circassian descent, Nadine was raised to hide the truth about her religion, spending years hiding behind her white-passing privilege. Following the Muslim Ban, she gathered the courage to write a love letter to Islam—a book about a young girl running toward her Islamic heritage, rather than away from it. The resulting book—All-American Muslim Girl—is designed as a tonic for other confused or curious cross-cultural kids, eager to finally embrace their own heritage.
