Edina Lekovic, originally from Montenegro and raised in San Diego, is one of the prominent faces of American Muslims in the media. As communications director for the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), Lekovic frequently appears on national television stations, including CNN, MSNBC and BBC. Her articles have been published in newspapers like The Wall Street Journal and The Los Angeles Times. She has also participated in international conferences focused on Muslims in the West. Lekovic graduated from UCLA with a bachelor’s in American literature and culture, and is currently a master’s candidate in communication at Pepperdine University. Without a doubt, Lekovic is a major player in the movement to advance the American Muslim community socially and politically, and InFocus was honored to speak to her regarding this topic.
