Being a part of sports has opened doors for me that I didn’t even know existed. As a woman of color, I learned early that I’d have to work harder than most just to get what I think I deserved. With that I gained an unwavering sense to believe when no one else does. That optimism and energy has led me to opportunities to travel as a player, and now as a coach to give back to the sport that gave me so much.
I hope to see the playing field even out. Less men coaching women’s sports. Or for society to let more women coach men’s sports. Equal Pay, not only for athletes but coaches as well. To have the same roles at the same place and the difference in pay be thousands of dollars is just not right. Your gender nor your race speaks of your value and what you bring to the table. Especially when everybody is supposed to eat.
