Episode 16 - Armana Rai, Marathon Runner

Armana is the ray of sunshine you will need to start off your week! It was a conversation I very much needed with all the chaos that we are seeing around us.  Running in the South Asian community is still seen as a taboo in some parts of India and across the world. We might think that it's as easy as putting a pair of trainers on and going outside, but there are still so many barriers some women face - the main one being safety. Armana has inspired and empowered women across the world to give their passion to run a chance and her determination to continue to do that through her own achievements is what makes her a gem of a lady!
