Graham is the first female active duty service member to fight for the U.S. at the Olympics.

[1] Graham was brought up in Fayetteville, North Carolina where she was the youngest of six children.

A sister, Rachel, who was six years older than her took up professional boxing, but Naomi did not, as her mother objected.

In 2019, Graham won silver at the Pan American Games, which was later upgraded to gold due to her opponent's in the final disqualification for doping.

[3] Naomi became the first female active duty service member to compete for the U.S. at the Olympics.
