Houston Astros’ Post

Last night's event on the topic of how women in sports are shaping the future of feminism and what we can learn from them was an absolute game-changer! We're honored to have been part of a discussion that shed light on the incredible strides women in sports are making, not just in their respective fields, but in society as a whole. From advocating for leadership to challenging gender norms, these trailblazers are reshaping the landscape of feminism. Key takeaways? Let's talk about them! 1. Leadership: Women in sports are not only excelling as athletes but also as leaders, coaches, and administrators. Their resilience, determination, and strategic thinking are paving the way for future generations. 2. Representation: Seeing women athletes on the global stage isn't just inspiring; it's crucial for breaking down stereotypes and expanding opportunities for all. Representation matters, and these athletes are proving it every day. 3. Intersectionality: Let's not forget the importance of intersectionality in feminism. Women in sports face unique challenges based on race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and more. Acknowledging and addressing these intersectionalities is essential for true progress. A BIG thanks to our incredible speakers who joined us last night including Emma Hinchliffe, (author of The Broadsheet and co-chair of Fortune's Most Powerful Women summit), LJ (LaToya) F., (avid golfer, CEO of IN-18 LLC, Founder of Finer Life Golf Foundation and executive coach), Yael Averbuch, (Gotham FC's GM and former USWNT player), and Madison Packer, of the newly formed women's pro-hockey league (PWHL). Also, the amazing Macaela MacKenzie, author of MONEY, POWER, RESPECT: How Women in Sports Are Shaping the Future of Feminism, for moderating this discussion! Let's continue to amplify the voices of women in sports and champion their achievements. Together, we can create a more inclusive and equitable future for all. #WeAreLuminary #ComeSitAtOurTable #InThisTogether #WomenInSports #Feminism #Empowerment

Invest in women sports! 👏 “When girls play, they lead, and leadership is critical for our women to be able to succeed on and off the court — on the field and in the boardroom." Since Title IX’s enactment in 1972, female athletes, activists, and donors have steadily fueled a slow-burning revolution in women’s sports, culminating in today’s record-breaking participation. #SheChangesTheGame https://lnkd.in/drjYpwHk

How do we empower people? Through representation. It's exciting to see my daughter and two nieces get a chance to see two of the best teams and athletes in women's college basketball. 🏀 Representation matters, and seeing examples of successful women in sports is powerful. Let's continue to uplift and empower the next generation of athletes through representation and visibility. Join me in celebrating the power of women in sports and the positive impact they have on young athletes. #WomenInSports #Empowerment #RepresentationMatters

We need more women representing sport, in all categories. When girls see female athletes overcoming adversity and challenging stereotypes in sports, they are also more likely to believe in their own potential and abilities, and their fundamental right to be equal everywhere. Minority women in sports are making a big impact all over the world. They are proving that they can compete at the highest leveland that they are deserving of recognition and respect. As more and more minority women enter the world of sports, they will continue to make their mark and inspire others to do the same. #womensupportingwomen #womenempowerment #womeninbusiness #womeninsport #represent #power #suport Suported by Rose Bruno Rosangela Camarano Ana Lameiras Regina Marques Regina Tayar-Watson Samanta Bullock Livia Melo Vanda Maeda Marli Mazon 🇬🇧🇧🇷🇨🇮 Marli Píres Edegelson Ricci Brazil Development Youth Romualdo Marcilio Dirlei Barbieri Rofner

This article highlights an unfortunate reality for women that’s not often talked about: how some more experienced women don’t support or even actively try to hold back younger women as they rise in their profession. This is especially true in male dominated industries. You got where you are today in part because at least one individual believed in you and took an interest in helping you along your professional path. Be that person. https://lnkd.in/gHxFJDtK
