I've been called every racial slur in the book, I've been told that, you know, people
00:04
who look like me don't play golf, or don't belong here, or you should go home.
00:09
Don't let them dissuade you from what you know you're capable of doing.
00:19
I'm a current sophomore at the University of Nebraska, and I play on the women's golf team.
00:31
My experience wearing the hijab as a golfer is definitely unique.
00:36
It's definitely more challenging mentally and emotionally, because I kind of go around
00:42
and no one looks like me, and I know for a long time probably no one will.
00:46
I started wearing the hijab when I was 13, almost 14 years old, and it was a completely
00:51
personal decision. A lot of girls, and the Muslim community in general, kind of look
00:56
to me to help break stereotypes that they have to deal with in their daily life.
01:07
People hire people who look like them, and that's the problem. Golf should work toward
01:11
becoming obviously much more inclusive and diverse, racially more inclusive to women,
01:17
more inclusive to individuals from various socioeconomic backgrounds.
01:22
I hope that I can show that golf is a game for everyone, and not just stereotypically white men.
01:29
And I think the next step is to not need to have a conversation anymore.
01:34
You know, I want to see action. I want to see the head of the USGA be an African American
01:39
man or woman. I want to see the head of the PGA of America to be, you know, a woman.
