On how stereotypes affect black female athletes:
"A lot of people were astounded at the fact that I spoke well because I play sports especially as a black female athlete playing sports. It’s a one dimensional type of perspective for a lot of people." - @Nnemkadi30

“Being women in sports then also being black women in sport, it weighs on you – a lot of the things that you have to put out in order to be respected in order to even be acknowledged and get the recognition that I feel we all deserve” @AjAndrews0609
