I recently had the privilege of spending time with some trailblazers in sport as part of @AmnestyUK's first ever human rights festival. It was great to switch seats and chair my first panel on sport and women’s rights.

On the weekend I joined the South Asian women’s football festival @LCFC_Community in partnership with Seeing Is Believing (Gymkhana WFC). A brilliant event created for young girls and women to play in a non-judgemental environment, connect with role models and make new friends.
Thank you to Seeing is Believing for supporting Dream Like Me: South Asian Football Trailblazers at the LCFC in the Community event 🤝.
Trailblazer @zuleikhachikh features in the book & it was brilliant to have her share learnings & insights with all attendees. ✨️⚽️
CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS 📢
I'm looking for ethnically diverse women to share their experiences undertaking sport leadership programmes in the UK.

We all deserve to be our full selves while playing the sport we love. Join me in supporting Diaba — and all French Muslim women in sports who wear hijab — by calling on @ffbasketball & @FIBA to overturn their discriminatory ban. #BasketPourToutes https://t.co/wfRWnZmSLS
It was amazing to join @BrownGirlSport_ 1 year anniversary celebration at Chelsea FC. What a powerful panel discussion from teaching journalism courses from an anti-oppressive lens to navigating mixed heritage identities in sport. Incredible work @mimwalkerkhan !!! 💫
It wouldn't be a women's sport event without her. Delighted to announce @ranahuss as a panel speaker for the #WISB23 this Friday. As one of the few women of colour in sports admin & media, Rana's journey has been marked by breaking barriers & championing social inclusion.
Please share. Maryam is doing her dissertation on women’s experiences of wearing the Burkini in swimming pools in the United Kingdom. See flyer for more details.
Nouhaila Benzina starts for Morocco against France. The first hijab wearing player at the competition in history. Friendly reminder that the FFF and France have banned those who wear a hijab from playing in France.
In 2012, @FIFAcom authorized Muslim sportswomen to play with their hijab.
It took 11 years to applaud the first one from @EnMaroc who will meet @equipedefranceF in the 8th round.
Go🇫🇷 !! You are the perfect adversary 👇
