About this listen

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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

This is such a beautiful book. I'm so thankful Ibtihaj wrote it! I saw myself in the chapters and laughed, cried, and celebrated with her. It's a beautiful testament to what's possible despite what the rest of the world thinks of you and your abilities. Thank you, Ibtihaj! May God bless you and yours always!!

The most inspiring story I've read this year!
