⚽️ I’m playing multiple games at the same time

Rapinoe, the 2019 Women’s Ballon d’Or winner, added: “What I’ve realised for a long time is that we’re playing two games at the same time. One, we’re playing all against each other, and then the other one, we’re all playing together to win equality and progress and what we deserve. [Source: BBC]

I’ve never been big into football, I only pay some attention during World Cups. However, over time I realise I’ve become less interested. As the greed, the lack of ethics and the damage to the environment continues to be put to one side.

The recent women’s World Cup has changed me. I only got to watch the final and the emotions we real. It wasn’t just about football though. And it wasn’t just about supporting my home country. This was different.

It’s campaigning for equity that we deserve.

It’s feeling the pain that women’s football never existed when I was young.

It’s the awe to see great role models and how awesomely fit they are.

It’s the joy of feeling hope of true diversity for our future generations. That my girls may truly have better options available for them.

It’s understanding that women can, do and will bring something else to the table. We can bring different vibes that help balance our world.

Women’s Football is something we should’ve had a very long time ago. It’s exciting that it is here now. It also hurts so much that it has taken this long.
