TIME Magazineさんのインスタグラム写真 - (TIME MagazineInstagram)「Ramla Ali (@somaliboxer), the first Muslim woman to win an English boxing title, has her sights set on the 2020 Olympics in #Tokyo. There, should she qualify, she will become the first boxer of any gender to represent her country of birth, Somalia. Her path here hasn’t been easy. When she was a child during the Somali civil war in the early 1990s, her family fled after her older brother was killed by a stray grenade. They escaped via a perilous boat journey to Kenya and eventually ended up in #London. Ali was bullied at school for being overweight, until she discovered #boxing in her teens. Even after she started fighting competitively, she hid her passion from her family, worried her mother would think it was immodest. As her profile increased, her mother eventually found out and asked her to stop—which she did, if only temporarily. Eighteen months ago, an uncle in Mogadishu helped reassure Ali’s mother that the community was happy, not ashamed. Now, Ali’s mother is her biggest fan. Ali is in the 2019 class of Next Generation Leaders, featuring rising stars in politics, technology, culture, science, sports and entertainment. Read more, and see the full list, at the link in bio.
