Tomorrow evening I will be a panel member for the below event discussing the experiences of Black women at Loughborough. Including discussions around identity, racism and discrimination. I hope to see some of you there!

I share this story a lot, about how I could not play my favourite sport because I could no longer face the racism that was happening with my club.
I hope this engages University sports clubs and societies to highlight different student experiences of their space.
