  • Summary

  • Zainab ‘Big Zee’ Alema is a lady with a dream, a dream of becoming the first Muslim woman, wearing a veil, to play for England.


    The Londoner stumbled into rugby union thanks to a PE teacher, but she quickly fell in love with the sport and took to playing it with gusto.


    Since then, she has become one of the sport’s leading influencers, worked tirelessly to bring Muslim girls into sport, and continued to give her all for Richmond.


    Zee talks about the challenges she has faced as a Muslim woman, the conversations she has had with her teammates, her previous career as a neo-natal nurse, and how she has incorporated her family into her rugby life.
