Ibtihaj Muhammad found out that she had qualified for the 2016 Olympics through a Google alert \\u2014 not from her team, Team USA. Ibtihaj\\u2019s story is one of resilience, triumph, and tenacity \\u2014 despite adversity \\u2014 to the top. Ibtihaj started fencing in high school and dedicated herself to becoming one of the world\\u2019s best fencers, culminating in an Olympic medal. She is the first woman in Hijab to represent Team USA at the Olympics. Today, she is an author (read her memoir, Proud, or her children\\u2019s book The Proudest Blue), a businesswoman (shop Louella for modest fashion), a Barbie (seriously, check this out), and an endless source of inspiration for many.
