Muhammad is an Award-Winning Global Keynote Speaker, Certified Consultant with the US Dept. of Justice Office for Victims of Crime, CNN Contributor, Domestic Abuse Survivor, Certified Domestic Violence Advocate, Advisory Board Member for The National Resource Center on Domestic Violence, Bestselling Author, and Certified Professional and Personal Development Consultant. Muhammad has a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, is a Member of ForbesBLK, and received DomesticShelters.Org's 2023 Purple Ribbon Lifetime Achievement Medallion Award as well as the 2022 Who's Who in America: Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement Award.

She travels and speaks on a global platform as the ex-wife of the DC Sniper to discuss her life of terror, abuse, and heartbreak, all while promoting Domestic Abuse and Violence Awareness and Prevention.

Muhammad is sought by organizations and agencies, worldwide, to share the very intimate details of her experiences with fear, abuse, and frequent victim-blaming. Her experience has strengthened and expanded the scope of her mission. Simply put, she was a victim who became a survivor and is now a crusader against domestic violence and abuse. She speaks to a wide range of audiences, including victims and survivors of domestic violence, advocates, law enforcement professionals, therapists, counselors, mental and medical health providers, university and college students, and military personnel, about what it's like to be a victim and survivor of domestic violence "without physical scars" at various conferences, seminars, and workshops.

Her sincerity is as impressive as her unforgettable story of abuse. She discusses the dangers of PTSD that soldiers face after returning from a war zone, as well as victims who have been diagnosed with PTSD. She is acknowledged and honored for putting her expertise and experience to good use by supporting the Family Advocacy Program and its goal of educating, promoting, and putting a stop to domestic abuse in military communities.

After counseling herself and her children on how to survive victim-blaming in the face of adversity, she turned her tragic circumstances into an opportunity to establish ground on all forms of Domestic Abuse that are often overlooked, such as verbal, mental, economic, spiritual, stalking, and emotional abuse. Muhammad makes it her mission to not only speak about the specifics and realities of domestic abuse and violence, but also to be a vessel of support and healing for all those affected.

She is the author of several books, including "Scared Silent: When the One You Love Becomes the One You Fear;" "I'm Still Standing: Crawling Out of the Darkness into the Light;" "A Survivor's Journal: A Journey from Victim to Survivor;" "Dare to Heal: Journaling The Pain Away;" "Planning My Escape," a comprehensive step-by-step safety plan specifically for victims and survivors to help with the emotions that others may not understand and strategically leaving an abusive relationship; "Being Abused While Teleworking During Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Pandemic: A Safety Guide for Victims of Domestic Abuse/Violence & Awareness for Bystanders;" and "In The Midst of Chaos," which was released in 2022.
