Her older brother Philip Awiti-Alcaraz has represented Great Britain in judo. He won bronze at the 2017 Grand Prix event in Cancun, Mexico. Her other brothers Joshua and Samy have competed at junior national level in Great Britain, (SportsDeskOnline, 21 Jun 2021; britishjudo.org.uk, 12 Dec 2014)

She took up the sport at age eight in London, England. She was also a gymnast from age three and competed at U12 national level. (jornada.com.mx, 24 Apr 2021)

She began judo following an argument with her brother. "My older brother did judo and gymnastics and then he stopped gymnastics to focus on judo. So we had an argument about which sport is harder. Since I had never done judo, I started to do a bit, but only once a week because I was still training for gymnastics three times a week. At some point I had tests done and they said I would be too tall for gymnastics, so I started doing just judo. It was the back-up, it wasn't my first choice." (judoinside.com, 06 Jul 2020)

REPRESENTING MEXICO
She was born in London, England, to a Kenyan father and a Mexican mother. She represented Great Britain from age 12 but began competing for Mexico in 2017. "[My weight category in Great Britain] was very competitive. It was so stressful to be alongside four girls fighting for a place. I was on the verge of stopping. It wasn't going great and I wasn't at the national centre. My coach asked if I had a Mexican passport and to look at the possibility of that. I messaged the head coach of Mexico and from there it took around three months to make the change." She says the language barrier was initially difficult to overcome. "I think at first the Mexican team wasn't so sure about a girl coming over and starting to fight for the country. But they were the nicest team and made me feel very welcome. The language was another problem. My Spanish wasn't the best, so it was the hardest thing to overcome. Especially with the coaching. At first that was really frustrating. But then I trained and lived in Mexico for seven months of last year [2019]." (jornada.com.mx, 24 Apr 2021; SportsDeskOnline, 16 Jun 2021; judoinside.com, 06 Jul 2020)
