This episode will focus on Diversity and Inclusion in Sports and Society in general with Shairoze Akram. Shairoze is a young man, born in Pakistan, who came to Ireland at an early age. Shairoze is the first Pakistani in history to win an All-Ireland medal with the U21 Mayo Gaelic Football Team. He has since gone on to start up his own company, a student at TU Dublin and an advocate and public speaker for Sport Against Racism Ireland, hosting and participating in discussions on diversity and inclusion.
We discuss his background, his transition to rural life in Ireland, challenges, adversity, being a part of the GAA community, mentors, support, his current path and more.
