Exploring Race and Diversity: Jevid Majid

Exploring Race and Diversity: Jevid Majid

Like many women, Jevid Majid started running through doing Parkrun in then home town of Nottingham in 2017.

As a way of getting fit, and finding time for herself, the mum of two says, 'It's the most liberating feeling to be on your own and having that escape, processing the day and in turn it benefitting your physical and emotional health.'

But her running took her further than just races. As a Muslim woman,Jevid wanted to encourage more women into running and established Runners Renew Programme collecting used and new running shoes and donating to runners from Black, Asian Minority Ethnic backgrounds.

Now living in Sweden, Jevid who is a member of the Asics Front Runner team, shares her running journey on social media to help inspire BME women to start moving and running.
