In this month’s episode, host Raina brings the heat with stories and insights that matter to women’s flag football and beyond.

We start with a recap of the Sweden Tournament, which wrapped up August 2nd, celebrating the athletes, the competition, and the continued international growth of the game.

We spotlight Shamiel Gary, former NFL player, who’s now breaking barriers by founding One of One Girls Flag Football Club — the first organization of its kind in Oklahoma, dedicated to building opportunity for young women in the sport.

We shift gears to college football’s opening week, where unexpected upsets shook up the standings and reminded us that anything can happen when the whistle blows.

And finally, we take a deeper look at a powerful article from the IWFFA’s August Newsletter, written by Nassima Jaghar:
“How Women Are Reclaiming Power Through Sports and Solidarity.”
Raina unpacks the article’s core message — how team sports help women rebuild trust, reshape identity, and turn competition into community. This isn’t just about winning games. It’s about healing, rising, and creating a culture where women thrive.

A must-listen for anyone passionate about the movement of women’s sports — and the mindset behind the mission.
