Ep 10: Race Against All Odds

Our final guest is Christina Atat, the first female drag racer in the MENA region. She began her career at the age of 14 with the help of her father, Mostafa Atat, a veteran drag racer. Although drag racing is an uncommon sport among women in the MENA region, Christina plans to change that. Tune in to find out more about Christina, and how she fights against sexism in the local drag racing community, all in hopes to inspire a generation of female drag racers.
