Representation is so important in shifting the deep-seated systemic paradigms that maintain the status quo of inequality and inequity in society. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Let's keep doing better!

#TakeActionTuesday: This year’s NBA All-Star weekend saw Sabrina Ionescu face off against Stephen Curry in a three-point exhibition - the first formal head-to-head competition between a WNBA and an NBA player. With 5.4 million viewers, Ionescu put on a fierce performance in front of basketball fans who were, potentially for the first time, seeing an elite WNBA pro in action. And in golf, Lexi Thompson and Rose Zhang headlined Capital One’s The Match alongside Rory McIlroy and Max Homa, marking the first time the event has featured women golfers. These events ring reminiscent of our Founder Billie Jean King’s famous Battle of the Sexes, but thanks to over five decades of Title IX, these newer face-offs showcased the power of mutual respect between elite athletes and the impact allyship has on sports and on society.   #TheEquityProject     Your Turn: Everyone can advocate for women’s sports! 1. If you want to be a better ally for gender equity, here are a few ways you can make change:  - Educate yourself on the challenges that girls and women face in sports.   - Speak up if you see any inequities and rally others to support.  - Use your platform to celebrate and uplift women athletes and leaders. 2.

Happy Women's Day! As a female CEO in male-dominated sports industries, it's important to reflect on how far women have come. "Empowered women, empower women" - a quote that resonates with me today. Navigating the seas of #boxing, #football, and #sportsmarketing, I gain my strength every time I see my daughters pull up their football socks, grit their teeth, and bare it all on the football pitch come rain or shine. Here’s to the women, that inspire and lift other women - may we continue to grow. #internationalwomensday2024 #bosstalentsports
