Proud by Ibtihaj Muhammad
Growing up in New Jersey as the only African American Muslim at school, Ibtihaj Muhammad always had to find her own way. When she discovered fencing, a sport traditionally reserved for the wealthy, she had to defy expectations and make a place for herself in a sport she grew to love. From winning state championships to three-time All-America selections at Duke University, Ibtihaj was poised for success, but the fencing community wasn't ready to welcome her with open arms just yet. As the only woman of color and the only religious minority on Team USA's saber fencing squad, Ibtihaj had to chart her own path to success and Olympic glory. Proud is a moving coming-of-age story from one of the nation's most influential athletes and illustrates how she rose above it all.Ibtihaj Muhammad is well known for becoming the first Muslim American woman to compete in the Olympics while wearing hijab and for being the first female Muslim-American athlete to earn a medal with Team USA's Team Sabre, claiming bronze. She was raised in Maplewood, New Jersey, as the daughter of a retired police officer and a special education elementary school teacher. She currently resides in New York City.
