Manaal Yaqub (Hon.Kinesiology), (she/her)

Manaal is a third year Honours Kinesiology student and a KIN 3RP3 placement in the ALA CoP lab. She is interested in promoting accurate knowledge regarding physical activity and overcoming barriers for minority groups, specifically women. Women of colour face many barriers, many of which stem from a lack of accurate information, causing these individuals to shy away from certain types of physical activity. By understanding these challenges and finding ways to overcome them, she hopes to help create opportunities for all women to pursue any type of physical activity they enjoy! Outside of the lab, you can find Manaal enjoys reading, trying new cafes, playing volleyball, and travelling!
