The inspiring all-American story of faith, family, hard work, and
perseverance by Olympic fencer, activist, and Time"100 Most
Influential People" honoree Ibtihaj Muhammad At the 2016 Rio
Olympics, Ibtihaj Muhammad smashed barriers as the first American
to compete wearing hijab and made history as the first
Muslim-American woman to medal. But it wasn't an easy road--in a
sport most popular among wealthy white people, Ibtihaj often felt
out of place. Ibtihaj was fast, hardworking and devoted to her
faith but rivals and teammates (as well as coaches and officials)
pointed out her differences, insisting she would never succeed. Yet
Ibtihaj powered on. Her inspiring journey from a young outsider to
an Olympic hero is a relatable, memorable and uniquely American
tale of hard work, determination and self-reliance.
At the 2016 Rio Olympics, Ibtihaj Muhammad smashed barriers as the
first American to compete wearing hijab, and made history as the
first Muslim-American woman to medal. She now shares her
unforgettable tale of perseverance and faith. Raised in a
working-class community in New Jersey with five siblings, Ibtihaj
sought out sports as a means to fund college -- and fencing was one
of the only sports in which she could participate fully clothed.
She was fast, hardworking, and devoted to her faith. But in a sport
most popular with privileged young white people, Ibtihaj often felt
out of place. Rivals and teammates (as well as coaches and
officials) pointed out her differences, insisting she would never
succeed. Yet Ibtihaj powered on, rising above bigotry and other
struggles on the path to her dream. Her inspiring journey from a
young outsider to a national hero is a relatable, memorable, and
uniquely American tale of hard work, determination, and
self-reliance. This edition, publishing simultaneously with
Ibtihaj's adult memoir with Hachette Books, will feature exclusive
stories and photos for young readers.
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.
