Fatima Zahra El Mamouny, also know as B-Girl Elmamouny, was told that girls shouldn’t breakdance when she was a child growing up in Morocco.

But she continued to practise and pursue her dreams. Now, she’s one of two breakdancers representing the North African nation as the sport makes its debut at the 2024 Olympic Games.

She’s hoping her determination will inspire other Arab women to give breakdancing a go.
