All she wanted was to compete fairly.
But when Layla showed up to the college tournament wearing her hijab, the judges looked her up and downā¦ and said she couldnāt compete.
“Itās against the uniform policy,” they claimed.
As if that wasnāt cruel enough, a group of girls followed her outā¦ laughing, filming, mocking her faith like it was a joke.
But then, out of nowhere ā one girl stepped forward.
She didnāt care about popularity. She didnāt care about the rules.
She cared about whatās right.
She stood beside Layla. Spoke up.
And that moment? It changed everything.
Now the whole college is talking ā and the judges are being questioned like never before.
š This is about courage. About standing up when itās easier to stay quiet. And about how one act of kindness can shake a system.
