General
GENDER IN SPORT
She is passionate about gender equality in sport. "I would like to live in a world where when a female athlete has success, she is asked about her game play, and not about her outfit. Arrogant commentary has no place on our television screens anymore. Female successes need to be celebrated within our society, not trivialised. Sport is empowerment. Sport is letting girls know it's cool to be called strong and that, no, it is not synonymous with [being] manly. Sport is recognising our inherent strength, not weakness, as women, and blazing the path for all those to yet come." (womenchampions.ca, 07 Sep 2017)
