Noor Alexandria Abukaram was disqualified for wearing her hijab at a high school track meet in 2019. Since then, she has used her platform to raise awareness about discrimination in sports and helped successfully lead the charge to legislative changes that protect freedom of religious expression for athletes in Ohio. Noor empowered herself as a hijabi runner and worked toward making sports more inclusive.
