“Through sports, we learn so much about ourselves, others, and what is means to be part of a team. One of my biggest takeaways from team sports is that everyone brings different gifts and tools to the table, which is awesome! Diversity should be accepted, respected and celebrated.  That’s why I am an athlete ally.  Because at the end of the day, we aren’t so different after all.  We all want to play, compete and live while being ourselves.  I want women’s soccer and the entire sports community to be a landscape of inclusion.”
