Rita Oukriss

Hi, I'm Rita, and ever since I was a young child, I've desired to accomplish something exceptional in my life.Because I was raised in a dysfunctional home and struggled academically due to my poor self-esteem, I turned to football for comfort. I would play the game at school, after school, in the park, on the street, in Morocco, where I spent every summer.Football, then, really helped me recognise that I'm good at something and gave me my confidence back.I was excited to consider turning into a professional football player when I was fifteen, but that dream was dashed. I want to take you all on this journey with me in order to truly assist the "forgotten" people who were never given a voice or a choice in life.
