Synopsis
The Londoner, known as 'Zee' quit her job as a neo-natal nurse to pursue her dream of representing the England women's rugby team. She's living up to her 'Bulldozer' nickname: "Being a Black Muslim woman in rugby, I'm smashing stereotypes and breaking those barriers. And if you look at it deeply, nobody expects a nurse to be playing rugby. Nobody expects a mother of three to be playing rugby. Nobody expects a career woman to be playing rugby."
