WHITNEY ASHLEY, OLY

Whitney Ashley is an Olympic Track & Field discus thrower. I am so grateful to have her on the show and excited for you to hear her story. Whitney shares her experience with the faulty Olympic Committee this year, working through identity and confidence issues as an adult woman, and how she found the strength to not only #SPEAKHERTRUTH, but to live it as well! Anyone who has struggled with identity issues because of their skin color or body type, or anyone who wants to learn more about these issues, especially coaches with players of color or who identify as female, will greatly benefit from listening to this episode! It's amazing how we see all of these athletes on tv and never know what they're going through. EVERYONE HAS A STORY! #SPEAKYOURTRUTH! https://anchor.fm/samarie/subscribe Connect with Whitney!: IG @lilmissblackdiva/whitneyashley.com. Connect with Samarie!: IG: @speakyourtruth_pod/[e-mail].
