AJ Andrews, Professional Softball Player for Athletes Unlimited, Broadcaster and Host, speaks out about the challenges she faces as a black woman in the predominantly white sport of softball. She takes us through how she overcame colorism in the Little League to become a Division 1 student athlete at Louisiana State University. AJ highlights the importance of loving yourself not in spite of the color of your skin, but because of it. AJ’s courage in breaking barriers, such as becoming the first woman to receive the prestigious Golden Glove award, inspires us all, and she reminds us that in order to change the game, each one of us must dare to dream big.
"You have the power always to write your own destiny and to write your own path. You are the creator of your life. You are the creator of your success.” - AJ Andrews
