She is a director and editor at Marvel Comics, developing and managing creative content for the company's various publishing lines.

Early life
Amanat was born into a Pakistani family. She lived with her parents, who were Pakistani immigrants, in a predominantly white New Jersey suburb.

Career and Education
Amanat studied political science with a focus on the Middle East at Barnard College at Columbia University in 2004.

After college, Amanat worked in magazine publishing until she landed a position with an indie comic book company. Two years later, the company went out of business.

Amanat joined Marvel Comics in 2009. Currently, she is the Director of Content and Character Development at Marvel Comics. She has worked on comics like Ultimate Comics Spider-Man, Elektra, and Hawkeye. In 2014, she co-created Marvel's first solo series to feature a female Muslim superhero called Ms. Marvel. The comic spent several weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and also won the Hugo Award for Best Graphic Story in 2015. Ms.Marvel sells much more digitally than in stores, has at times been Marvel's top digital seller overall.

Amanat is also a board member of the Young Leadership Committee at the Seeds of Peace. The Seeds of Peace is an organization that works to promote the empowerment of youth in regions of conflict.

Inspiration
Throughout her childhood, Amanat had trouble fitting in and struggled with self-identity as she often wished to be white herself. She also idealized the beauty of women who were blonde and white, later realizing that the ideal person is a one who is good at heart.In her Ted Talk, Amanat states that "the big idea behind Ms.Marvel [was] very much about minority representation, the bigger idea was about finding your authentic self". Numerous young and ethnic letter writers were excited to see Kamala Khan who looked like them and came from a similar background. While creating the comic, she drew on her own experience as the child of Pakistani immigrants in the New Jersey suburbs in hopes that the next generation will not experience identity rejection as she did through a relatable superhero.
