Women are very powerful! That's why I believe in women's rights and why I fight for it.

Living in a polluted city like New York, I try to go on hikes upstate as much as I can.

I think Tunisia has a specific place in the Arab world and in Africa because it is a tiny Muslim country, but it's very open minded. It's the first country to start the Arab Spring, for example.

My greatest inspiration is my coach, Maggie Haney.
