Fatima El Amrani is a 17-year-old girl from Casablanca, Morocco. She’s brave, bold, and always ready for a new ride. While many girls in her town walk to school, Fatima rolls through the streets on her skateboard. People look, some smile, some don’t — but she keeps going. She is not just riding a board; she’s riding toward change.

Her First Skateboard

Fatima got her first skateboard when she was 13. She saved money and bought it second-hand. It was old and scratched, but she loved it. She practiced every day in her backyard. She fell, got up, and tried again. That board became her best friend — it showed her she could do anything if she didn’t give up.

Girls Can Skate Too

Many people told Fatima that skateboarding is only for boys. She didn’t listen. Instead, she started a girls’ skate crew. Now, other girls in her city skate with her. They laugh, fall, and cheer each other on. Fatima helps them learn tricks and feel strong. She made a space where girls can be fearless.

After School Life

Fatima goes to high school like everyone else. She’s good at art and digital media. But sometimes, school rules feel too tight for her big dreams. After school, she meets her crew, films new tricks, and edits cool videos. She shares them online to inspire girls everywhere.

Colors and Culture

When Fatima is not skating, she paints her boards. She adds colors and patterns from Moroccan art. She mixes old and new — showing her culture in a fresh way. Her boards are like her voice: bold, bright, and proud.

Her Big Dream

Fatima wants to tell stories through film and design. She dreams of making movies about real girls doing real things. One day, she hopes to open a creative space for young people to learn, share, and grow. Her message is simple: Be strong. Be yourself. And never stop moving.

Why Fatima Matters

Fatima shows us that you don’t have to follow every rule to do great things. You just need heart, courage, and wheels that roll. She teaches girls to be brave, try new things, and make their own way — no matter what others say. She’s not just skating — she’s making change happen.
