Zemirah, 19 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Zemirah, known as “MyMy,” is a former foster child who entered the system at age 9 after being permanently removed from her mother’s household. This change also led to her being estranged from her nine siblings, leaving her to grow up as an only child. Although Zemirah has been fortunate to have her own room and a pet cat to care for, the absence of her siblings has created a sadness in her life. She spends her time hanging out with friends and experimenting with makeup. These activities have helped boost her self-esteem and alleviate some of the loneliness she has experienced over the years.

Zemirah has never owned fighting gear and is determined to take her craft and fitness seriously. As a newcomer to hands-on fitness programs, she has been working closely with her mixed martial arts instructors, who ensure she protects her body and equips herself for success in class. Although Zemirah has a small build, she is dedicated to her training and is determined to be able to deliver a powerful punch.
