Umaymah

Taekwondo black belt, swimmer, and absolute powerhouse, Umaymah is on a mission to kick junk food out of school canteens and college corridors. “When it comes to young people, we always hear conversations about our health, but it feels like there’s not much awareness of what we’re actually facing,” she says. “I see junk food ads on my way to college, and my school canteen is filled with the same products in those ads.” For Umaymah, a better world would see junk food being replaced with healthier foods, from ads to the snack shop at school.
