ʻAʻole malihini ʻo Rahaf Khatib i ka haki ʻana i nā pale a me ka haʻi ʻana i kahi ʻōlelo. Ua hana ʻo ia i nā poʻo poʻomanaʻo i ka hopena o ka makahiki i hala aku nei no ka lilo ʻana i mea holo mua hijabi Muslim e kū i ka uhi o kahi makasina hoʻoikaika kino. I kēia manawa, hoʻolālā ʻo ia i ka holo ʻana i ka Boston Marathon e hōʻiliʻili kālā no ka poʻe mahuka o Suria ma US-he kumu kokoke a aloha i kona puʻuwai.

"ʻO ia kaʻu moeʻuhane e holo i ka heihei kahiko loa a hanohano," i haʻi aku ai ʻo ia iā SHAPE i kahi ninaninau kūʻokoʻa. ʻO ka Boston Marathon ke kolu o ka World Marathon Major o Khatib - ua holo mua i ka heihei BMW Berlin a me Bank of America Chicago. "ʻO kaʻu mau pahuhopu e hana i nā mea ʻeono, manaʻolana i ka makahiki aʻe," wahi āna.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Khatib ua hauʻoli ʻo ia e pili ana i kēia manawa kūpono, hapa no ka mea aia kekahi manawa ua manaʻo ʻo ia ʻaʻole ia e lilo. ʻOiai ʻaʻole hiki i ka heihei a hiki i ʻApelila, ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia e launa pū i nā hui aloha i ka hopena o Dekemaba, ma hope o ka ʻike ʻana ua hala lōʻihi ka manawa e noi ai ma ke aloha, i Iulai. "ʻAʻole au i ʻike i ka mea e noi ai i kēlā kakahiaka," ʻakaʻaka ʻo ia. "Ua ʻōpala wau, no laila like wau me ka maikaʻi, malia paha ʻaʻole ia he manaʻo no kēia makahiki."

I kona pūʻiwa, ua loaʻa iā ia kahi leka uila e kono ana iā ia e holo i ka heihei."Ua loaʻa iaʻu kahi leka uila mai kā Hyland kono ʻana iaʻu i kā lākou hui wahine āpau me nā ʻōlapa kupaianaha," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia. "He hōʻailona ia e pono ai iaʻu ke hana i kēia."

Ma nā ʻano he nui ʻaʻole hiki i kēia manawa kūpono ke hiki mai i kahi manawa maikaʻi. Hānau ʻia ma Damaseko, Suria, ua neʻe ʻo Khatib i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa me kona mau mākua 35 mau makahiki i hala. Mai ka wā i hoʻomaka ai ʻo ia e holo, ua ʻike ʻo ia inā holo ʻo ia i ka marathon ʻo Bosetona, no ke aloha kōkua kōkua i nā mea pakele o Suria.

"ʻO ka holo a me nā kumu kōkua kanaka ke hele pū i loko o ka lima," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia. "ʻO ia ka mea e hoʻopuka ai i ka manaʻo o ka marathon. Ua loaʻa iaʻu kēia bib no ka manuahi a ua hiki iaʻu ke holo me ia, ʻaʻohe manaʻo, akā ua manaʻo wau ua pono e loaʻa iaʻu koʻu wahi i ka Marathon Boston."

"ʻOi aku me nā mea āpau e hana nei i ka nūhou, e wāwahi ʻia nei nā ʻohana," hoʻomau ʻo ia. "He mau ʻohana mākou ma ʻaneʻi [ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa] i noho ma Michigan e pono ai ke kōkua, a manaʻo wau 'he ala kupaianaha e hoʻihoʻi ai'."

Ma kāna ʻaoʻao hoʻolāʻau LaunchGood, ua wehewehe ʻo Khatib "o nā 20 miliona o nā mea mahuka e kahe ana i ka honua i kēia lā, hoʻokahi o ka ʻehā ko Suria." A mai loko mai o nā mea mahuka he 10,000 i hoʻokipa ʻia e ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, 1,500 o lākou i noho hou i Michigan. ʻO ia ke kumu e koho ai ʻo ia e hōʻiliʻili kālā no ka Syrian American Rescue Network (SARN)-he ʻano politika ʻole, hoʻomana ʻole, ʻauhau ʻauhau i hoʻokumu ʻia ma Michigan.

"Ua hele mai koʻu makuakāne ma aneʻi 35 mau makahiki i hala aku nei a ua hele mai koʻu makuahine me aʻu ma ke ʻano he pēpē," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia. "Ua hānai ʻia au ma Michigan, ua hele au i ke koleke ma aneʻi, kula haʻahaʻa, nā mea āpau.

Ua lawe ʻo Khatib iā ia iho e hoʻopau i nā kaʻao e pili ana i ka ʻAmelika ʻAmelika a me nā mea haʻuki hijabi, a e hoʻomau ʻo ia i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka haʻuki e hoʻāla i ka ʻike no kahi kumu kokoke a aloha nui i kona puʻuwai.

Inā makemake ʻoe e pili, hiki iā ʻoe ke hāʻawi manawaleʻa i kā Rahaf kumu ma o kāna LaunchGood ʻAoʻao. E nānā i kāna Instagram ma @runlikeahijabi a i ʻole e hahai pū me kāna hui ma o #HylandsPowered e hoʻomau i kā lākou aʻo ʻana i ko lākou hoʻomākaukau ʻana no ka Boston Marathon.
