In this week’s episode I welcomed back Dr. Akilah Cadet. Dr. Cadet is the Founder, CEO of Change Cadet consulting firm, a Forbes listed entrepreneur, co-owner of the Oakland Roots and Soul soccer teams, and author of White Supremacy Is All Around: Notes From a Black Disabled Woman in a White World. She literally has all the degrees, lives in Oakland, CA, celebrates her disability, is a proud Beyoncé advocate, and has an incredible shoe game. We, as two disabled women who share a passion for sports and fashion, discuss being a woman owner in sports, what it means to actually be a community and purpose driven team, the intersection of sports and high fashion and much, much more.
