Sinopse
Get ready to be inspired by the incredible journey of Olympic boxer, Ramla Ali. Born in Somalia during the Civil War, Ramla escaped to the UK as a refugee and found solace in boxing. Despite facing challenges from her family who believed the sport was not "lady-like", Ramla pursued her passion and became an Olympic athlete representing Somalia on the world stage. Ramla didn't stop there. She quit her job at a law firm to become a full-time professional boxer, crushing opponents twice her size with her sleek jab and expert head movement. But she didn't let her success get to her head. Ramla founded the Sisters Club, a safe space for women, including survivors of sexual abuse, to train and build a community. Today, Ramla's impact can be felt across the world and in her hometown, where a huge mural of her serves as a beacon of hope for young girls who look like her.
