Raya Al Habsi
Raya Al Habsi is one of the young Omani women sailors competing again in Sail Arabia The Tour 2013 (SATT). After SATT 2012, Raya was interviewed for an article in the Dubai Health & Fitness Magazine (click and scroll down to read article) where she credited her sailing experience with initiating a change to a healthy diet, with igniting her dream to race around the world, and for inspiring her to exclaim, “Women are not weak – we are strong – and we can do anything we set our minds to!”
“Women are not weak – we are strong – and we can do anything we set our minds to!”
Just imagine, Raya had never been exposed to a fitness and workout regime prior to October 2011. Yet, on June 1, 2012 she joined with two of her SATT teammates to enter another sailing race in Greece. Already, Raya’s impact is multiplying.
RTLI will intentionally create additional and similar opportunities, equipping more women in the world to be breakthrough leaders, who will teach and inspire others, like Raya is now.
After racing in the 2012 SATT, Raya al Habsi is a spokewoman for early screening of breast cancer.
