About this listen
In this inspiring episode, WCM Zara Majid shares the incredible true story of Phiona Mutesi, a girl from the slums of Uganda who rose to become a Woman Candidate Master — and the star of the Disney film Queen of Katwe. Zara reflects on how Phiona’s courage, resilience, and refusal to give up helped break gender barriers in chess and inspired movements like Queens United. Zara also shares her emotional reaction to the film and the impact it had on her own chess journey through mentors and coaches.
With powerful lessons about believing in yourself — even when others don’t — this episode is a tribute to every girl who’s ever been told she doesn’t belong at the board.
