Unfortunately, this treatment is not surprising to many female athletes and is in fact, reflective of my own experiences playing competitive basketball for 7 years.

If leagues don’t treat women’s teams with respect and equip them for success, neither will the rest of the world

[SEDONA @sedonaprince_]

Let me put it on Twitter too cause this needs the attention

[Western USC @WesternUSC]

Now more than ever, it's not the time to push your luck.
The health and safety of our campus community and the broader London community is our responsibility.
In light of the recent COVID-19 outbreak declared by @MLHealthUnit, we must remain vigilant.
Do your part, #StopTheSpread

[Victoria Barroso @victoriaabarr]

As an ask directly from the USC’s university budget submission, we’ve been advocating for a centralized and accessible reporting tool since September and now it’s here!!

Over the past several months, the USC's University Affairs portfolio has worked alongside @EthnoUsc to advocate for a more accessible racism reporting tool.

[Victoria Barroso @victoriaabarr]

Representation in STEM is important for the future of our medicines, technologies and scientific approaches. Empowering young girls to explore these interests will transform the future

[Ontario Women @WomenON]

According to UNESCO data, only around 30% of female students select STEM-related fields in higher education. On International Day of Women and Girls in Science, let’s continue to break down barriers and empower women and girls to pursue a career in science. #WomeninScience‍👩🏼‍🔬👩🏿‍🚀

As #COVID19 cases rise in Ontario, #WesternU has learned that positive cases among its students now total 28, most of whom are off campus. These new cases are prompting the school to halt many non-academic activities on campus. #takecarewesternu #ldnont https://t.co/KMscZvFlzH
