Women Inspiring Each Other by Victoria Valdez

Nike has produced a commercial featuring several Arab women who are athletes.  These women come from a world where they are under scrutiny for the choices that they make and often feel controlled.  They are all shattering the norms that are placed onto them by their rigid societies, often overcoming many obstacles to do what they love.  Nike created this as a way to "encourage and inspire others."

I think that this is genius of Nike to feature these women who are challenged and oppressed in their own society but have found a way to follow their passions and dreams.  This is truly inspiring and shows that you can do whatever you set your mind to.
