Academically, she is a straight “A” student which will earn her scholarship opportunities.
Her mother, Lisa Borders Muhammad, has created a “gofundme” page to raise funds for Sumayyah’s participation in the 2018 Junior Olympics.
At the then age of thirteen, she would be one of the youngest Black equestrians to compete.
Says mother Muhammad in the ‘gofundme” posting: “We have set up the GoFund to hopefully enable this young child to own her own horse and qualify for the 2018 Olympics. Please give what you can.” The “gofundme” effort has to date raise $75. The goal is to reach $2,000.
The posting further reveals that she is taking lessons but wants her own horse so that she can get more riding practice in between lesson schedules.
