Karate Commonwealth Championships, Dhaka 2024

Hello, my name is Inaya and I need your help to get me to the Commonwealth games! I'm currently a 19 year-old second Dan black belt in karate, a passion I have pursued since 2012. As a dedicated member of Team GB, I regularly train with top-level instructors and compete in regional, national, and international competitions. Karate is more than just a sport to me; it's a way of life that has shaped my character, instilled discipline, and fueled my ambition. Now, I have the incredible opportunity to represent my country in the upcoming Commonwealth Games in my motherland Bangladesh, and I need your support to make this dream a reality.

Ever since I started the sport as a little girl, I have always had big dreams and aspirations regarding my karate journey.

This journey is not just about competing; it's about continuing to break down barriers and promote women empowerment. Despite cultural and societal barriers, I have been able to push through stereotypes to really excel in my performance. Although being a woman from an ethnic background has at times led to me to question my belonging in the male dominated sport, this doubt has fostered into perseverance and determination to prove my worth and excellence. In a world where women are often underrepresented in sports, especially in martial arts, I strive to be a role model and inspire other young women to pursue their passions fearlessly. By supporting my GoFundMe campaign, you're not just helping me get to Bangladesh; you're contributing to a movement that champions equality, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. Let's show the world that with determination and support, we can shatter any glass ceiling. Thank you for being a part of this empowering journey!
