Quote by Randa Abdel-Fattah

“I've been injected with the formula for confidence and butt kicking. Not in spite of my hijab but because of it Because I want to prove to everybody that it's just a piece of material and that I'm here, representing my school, supporting my team, kicking some serious rear ends.”

It helps you to count your victories, even the small ones, and know that you’re doing okay.”
