One of my favorite parts of the United State Of Women Summit (https://secure.theunitedstateofwomen.org/page/contribute/2018-summit-booth)was attending the Athletes As Activists panel. It was organized by Dr. Kimberly Clay who created Play Like A Girl (https://www.iplaylikeagirl.org/). It's a wonderful organization that supports girls in both sports and STEM. Dr. Clay and I quickly bonded over our love for Mississippi since she's from Batesville, and I went to Ole Miss a few miles down the road. The panel was informative, heartwarming, and filled me with determination to keep sports as a part of my daughter's life where I had let them go in my own. Liz Loza of Yahoo Fantasy Sports (and previous Enthusiasm Enthusiast guest on Feminism And Football (http://www.theenthusiasmenthusiast.com/2016/08/10/feminism-football-with-liz-loza/)) was a wonderful moderator. The panel featured some amazing women, and I'm honored they let me share it with you. You'll hear powerful stories from:
