Steve Zakuani chats with OL Reign's Jasmyne Spencer on National Girls and Women in Sports Day

As highlighted in our social justice framework announced last summer, we at Sounders FC are committed to elevating the voices and experiences of individuals. This February, in honor of Black History Month, we are using our platform to highlight Black professional athletes and their inspirations.

February 3rd also marks National Girls and Women in Sports Day. The celebration inspires girls and women to play and be active to realize their full power, and to promote equitable access to sports. This NGWSD, Steve Zakuani spoke with OL Reign’s Jasmyne Spencer about her experience as a Black female athlete, her inspirations, and hopes for the next generation.
