Olympic medalist fencer and one of TIME's 100 Most Influential People Ibtihaj Muhummad's inspiring memoir about the tremendous obstacles, racism, and pressures she has overcome to become the first Muslim-American woman to compete in hijab for the United States.
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.
