Shoutout to this week’s CMVP, @ZiggySmalls_, who’s creating opportunities inspired by those who shaped him.
Last month, the @packers linebacker hosted a Women in Sports weekend in his hometown of Philadelphia to shine a light on women working in the sports industry. He kicked off the weekend with a women’s sports empowerment brunch, which featured a fireside chat with several sports industry leaders. The following day, the second annual Shelice’s Angels Girls Flag Jamboree took place. The young female flag football players had the opportunity to both compete and develop their skills.
“Growing up, my mom always told me I could be anything and never let my surroundings define my future. So now, being able to come back to the same city that raised me and show these young women new opportunities, while reminding them that they can be anything they want to be. It really just brings why I started Shelice’s Angels full circle, leave things better than I found them.”
Football is the tool — empowering young women is the mission. 👑
