I’ve worked with various organizations such as media and Civil society, Political offices with initiatives aimed at empowering women through sports.

By creating these pathways, we hope to not only improve the performance of the women’s Jogoos but also inspire young girls and boys in the community to pursue their dreams in sports. In the long run, I believe we can help change societal perceptions about women’s sports and create a more inclusive environment for everyone.
