So rewarding to see @POTUS supporting the call for greater pay equity in sport.
Decades of efforts to provide female sailors greater opportunities in the sport are finally coming to fruition. The shift is happening and it's persistent. sailingworld.com/racing/the-…

Nature is the Circular Economy. We borrow resources from #Nature for the products & services we require - there is nowhere else to get them. But once we are done with them, these products & materials must be returnable to Nature as healthy nutrients for the circle to continue.

⛔ Globally, #WomenInSport struggle with a massive pay gap, fewer opportunities & sponsorships, less airtime, and unequal playing conditions.
And when they succeed, women often face toxic abuse online and offline.
📣We need the ambition and commitment to address these issues!

This ⬇️is a case in point
We need to understand women's bodies ⚠️
82% female football players have reported discomfort in their boots, according to research by the European Clubs Association.
If most male footballers were having issues with their shoes, something would have been done by now. 😡
