Haya reflects on her cricket journey as a girl, highlighting the challenges and skepticism faced by women athletes. Despite encountering discouraging comments and gender-based biases, she expresses a determination to change perceptions, promote women's cricket, and inspire young girls to pursue their dreams in the face of societal criticisms. Haya has always had a soft spot for sports. Growing up, she found a lot of common problems in the journey of other girls like her. This motivated her to start spreading the word of gender equality in sports. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
