Meet Ibtihaj Muhammad Rewriting the Rules of Representation
Olympic fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad made history as the first American Muslim woman to compete and medal in the Games wearing a hijab. But her influence extends far beyond the piste. Ibtihaj is a vocal advocate for gender equality, inclusive sport, and breaking down barriers of identity and access especially for young girls who are told they don’t belong.
Her message is simple: Visibility is power. Equality is possible.
