Finding boxing has been a crucial part of my personal journey. The empowerment i felt after picking up the sport as a woman in a niqab has been a cathartic experience. I hope to inspire all women, to break through the social expectations and barriers they face.

Being a boxing coach while looking after 11 children has its challenges, but I believe it’s worth it !

I’m a hijabi semi pro footballer who currently plays in the third tier of women’s football. Due to the fact that there are very few hijabis in football, I didn’t have the conventional start, as I signed for my first ever club (Leyton Orient U18) at age 17 and since then I climbed the football pyramid from tier 7 to tier 3 in 3 years. As I have started late I understand the difficulty of constantly having to catch up, as well as the discrimination I’ve endured, I would like to help other aspiring footballers to enjoy the sport as much as I do and help to create a comfortable environment where hijab’s playing football is deemed normal. Should they decide to pursue football seriously, I’d love to aid and guide them through their journey.

Hi, I’m Mara.

I’m a corporate girly who also happens to work in the fitness space as a run coach and an online coach. I’ve led a beginner’s run group at Victoria Park Harriers since September 2023, which runs over 8 weeks three times a year and helps people go from couch to 5km, whether by running or run-walking at their own pace. I am also an online coach working predominantly with South Asian women in helping them to get stronger, fitter and healthier, while eating their favourite cultural foods.

I  am the Sports Co-Lead for South Asian Heritage Month, working with sports brands and organisations across the country to promote South Asians in sports and help get more South Asians active.

Recently, I became a race director for Hackney Legacy Race, which has several different races across the year in Hackney.

Getting women from different communities and backgrounds active is something I’m deeply passionate about and I totally understand the cultural nuances and life challenges while trying to fit in a workout!

I can’t wait to see many of you.!
