Nike On Air: Making History with Ibtihaj Muhammad and Janee' Kassanavoid

Ibtihaj Muhammad and Janee’ Kassanavoid both envisioned a path to the top, and then climbed their way there – in fields where no one who looked like them had ever made it that far. Ibtihaj, a world class fencer, made history as the first woman to wear a hijab while competing on the world stage. And Janee’ Kassanavoid, hammer throw darling, became the first Indigenous woman to medal at the World Athletics Track and Field Championships. This episode, we hear their stories of resilience, passion, and vision. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
