Nicknamed 'The Bulldozer', rugby player Zainab Alema is known for her physical playstyle and breaking barriers. Throughout her career, the University of Hertfordshire graduate has paved the way for Black and Muslim women to get into the sport. She was the first person to play Premiership Women's Rugby wearing a hijab when she made her debut for Leicester Tigers and set up Studs in the Mud, a charitable project supporting grassroots rugby in Ghana.
In this episode of Powered By Herts, Zainab talks about her time at Herts, her extraordinary career, and why it's important to encourage those from minority backgrounds to give rugby a go.
