Multnomah Athletic Foundation

Join me on?Monday, March 11, for an important conversation about breaking the stigma around menstruation in sports. Leveling the playing field—pun intended—is what drives me to work in spaces where these conversations take place. Through this partnership, PERIOD. and the Multnomah Athletic Club are creating space for open dialogue and action. At a time when access to essential resources and education is increasingly challenged, these conversations are more important than ever. By advocating for inclusivity and equity in sports, we ensure that all athletes have the opportunity to reach their full potential. Register for the event here: https://lnkd.in/guwSbUmi

“Representation in athletics is extremely important as it represents a platform (at any level), that illustrates how participants from a variety of backgrounds are able to work and compete together toward a shared goal. It is vital for young athletes to see themselves reflected in their heroes to instill within them hope, motivation, and a sense of reality that says they will not be excluded from the opportunity to pursue their dreams.” Billy Ladd, Past board member, collegiate basketball player and Dad to two athletic kids . . #blackhistorymonth #MAF #MultnomahAthleticFoundation #representationmatters
