Summary
Ashley Graham sits down with the trailblazing Ibtihaj Muhammad! Ibtihaj is a world class fencer, 2016 Olympic Bronze medalist, and 5-time Senior World Champion. She was the first member of Team USA to compete in a hijab and has broken more barriers than we can count. In 2017, Barbie announced its SHERO line including a doll made in her likeness — fencing sword and all. To top it off, Ibtihaj is an accomplished author with books including her memoir Proud and the best-selling children’s book The Proudest Blue. Her clothing line Louella makes accessible fashion forward clothing with a modest twist.
