On the eve of the International Paralympic Committee General Assembly, Global Athlete releases the following statement to echo the voices of thousands of athletes and twenty-six governments calling for both Russia and Belarus to be banned from the 2024 Paris Paralympic Games. "For nearly twenty months, Russia has waged a war of aggression in Ukraine, aided and abetted by Belarus. The violence has neither ceased nor diminished. Given the continued violation of sovereignty and ever-increasing toll of the conflict, the IPC has an ongoing responsibility as a world leader of sport to uphold its principled suspension of Russian and Belarusian athletes."

This is so powerful
The spectators of the New Zealand women's rugby sevens match versus Canada were treated to a performance of a Haka, a traditional war dance of the Indigenous Māori people, after New Zealand won gold. The tradition signifies the pride, unity, and strength of a tribe and is a way to celebrate, entertain, and welcome visiting tribes. What better occasion to express this than at the #Paris2024 #Olympics where so many countries and cultures meet, meld, and share such powerful moments?

Research says that people make assumptions about you based on the first 7 seconds they observe something. Looking at this , you would think the team is are angry and the screaming may shy people away from understanding the strength of this cultural dance. Some question why are they celebrating with a war dance . This can be on many things :lack of understanding, bias , or lack of interest in other cultural celebrations or observations. This inspired me to post about #understandingdifferences #cilturalcelebrations #pride #powerful #unity #strength #respect So what do we do when we see something that is different: 1. Embrace that we are a diverse world and learn about the difference. 2. If you don’t agree with different approach /situation - it’s ok - just respect the difference and move on 3. Share what gives you pride in your culture and inspires you to do more
