A DAY WITH RAMLA ALI

Breaking records and shattering stereotypes, Ramla was the first boxer to represent Somalia at the Olympics. She uses her public profile to pursue her passion for philanthropy, making extraordinary contributions to improving the lives of female ethnic and religious minorities and sufferer’s of domestic violence.

Born in Mogadishu, Somalia, before arriving in the UK as a refugee aged twelve, Ramla’s journey to becoming a professional boxer was extremely challenging. The discipline and passion for sport transformed every aspect of her life as she pursued her career.

“I persevered through stubbornness, really. Having invested so much time, energy and resources into my sport, I needed to see a return on what I put in and refused to quit until I achieved what I set out to do.”

Off-season, she has more time for her other pursuits, which include her non-profit work, an upcoming film chronicling her inspiring story and getting outdoors. She picks a technical nylon, all-black look from the new Moncler Collection for a morning spent on the beach.

"What stood out to me is the design aspect of the different pieces in the collection. I think when people think of Moncler, quilted puffer jackets are what come to mind, but what I’ve loved about this collection is the sneaker design, the more casual summer looks.”

"Although I’m from London, I love the pace of Brighton. It just feels like it’s less in a rush. I love the clean air, space and sunsets down here as well."
