Summary
Sports can be the difference between a fully realized identity and feeling alone in the world. Inclusion is about human rights because it is about identity and acceptance for people that have faced marginalization and discrimination.

So much love for you all! THANK YOU!

| 0:46.8 | And I think as we go through this process, like David and I will inevitably wrap up, I |
