A review by annebennett1957
Proud: Living My American Dream by Ibtihaj Muhammad

4.0

Ibtihaj Muhammad won a bronze medal at the Summer Olympics in 2016 for team saber fencing. This is her story of how she got to that place while keeping her faith, Muslim, intact. At times inspiring (hard work pays off) and at times frustrating (team members won't associate with her, issues wearing her hijab) I was very glad to read this and thrilled that Muslim women have a strong, healthy roll model for themselves in Ibtihaj Muhammad.

This book is the young adult version of her adult book, Proud: My Fight for an Unlikely American Dream, which was also published in 2018.
