Growing up in Maplewood, New Jersey the only Black, Muslim-American
in hijab, in middle school Ibtihaj discovered fencing, a sport
traditionally reserved for the wealthy and elite. Though she would
start fencing later than most at 12 years old, she had an
undeniable talent-the sort that would soon put her on the
international stage. But Ibtihaj saw something more in her Olympic
journey: an opportunity to take action, to stand up and make a
Muslim-American woman of color impossible to ignore. Ibtihaj's path
to Olympic greatness has been marked with hateful opposition and
near-debilitating challenges-bigotry from teammates at Duke
University and Team USA, death threats, and social hardships as a
Muslim-American. In Proud, her exhilarating emergence from young
outsider to national hero and outspoken activist is a timeless,
uniquely American tale of hard work, determination, and resilience
that hasn't been told.
