Ibtihaj Muhammad
Ibtihaj Muhammad
Ibtihaj Muhammad is an Olympic-medal-winning fencer, author, and entrepreneur. As a high-school student, her mother encouraged her to try fencing because she could participate and still wear hijab, choice that some muslim women make to cover most of their bodies except for their face and hands. Turns out she was not only an excellent fencer, but a thoughtful and inspiring role model to her growing legions of fans.
