As you read this summary, you will discover how Olympic Fencing Champion Ibtihaj Muhammad was able to overcome the obstacles she encountered.


You will also discover :


  • why her success was not obvious at first glance;
  • why she chose to practice fencing;
  • how she faced prejudice and racism;
  • how she became a standard-bearer for Muslims in the United States;
  • how she took advantage of opportunities.

  • Ibtihaj Muhammad is not only an exceptional fencer. She is also the first veiled athlete to represent the United States in international sports competitions. As such, her feats are not only athletic, but also sociological. In her autobiography Proud, she shows that by affirming her religion and the wearing of the veil in competition, she pushed the limits of what is acceptable for all Muslims and for women in general. She has thus become the spearhead not only of a community, but also of all those who no longer intend to let themselves be stepped on. Her great tenacity is an inspiring example for all, as the podcast The Fenom Effect: Ibtihaj Muhammad, various interviews and conferences highlight. Are you ready to find out how the fencer succeeded by starting from nothing?
