Equality and inclusion are core values of Football For Her, and although our foundational mission is to include the Black and Brown communities, we felt the need to do more. We created this limited-edition Black Lives Matter tee for one reason and one reason only; to make sure young Black girls know that they matter. With this initiative we are able to provide mentorship to 40 Black girls from current NWSL women of color.
“It’s so important for the Black community to know that we will always push for equality and want to show support and help in any way we can.”
We feel it is vital to create awareness about the available opportunities for girls, no matter their goal with the sport. If they don’t see evidence of possibility, how can they work towards it? We’ve partnered with a few Black women currently playing in the NWSL to have virtual 1-on-1 interactions with Black girls in the LA community. We want to give hope to the next generation, and show them that there are women out there who look like them succeeding at the highest level of this sport; their goals and dreams are absolutely attainable.
With your support we can provide 30 1-on-1 sessions with NWSL players!

Using my voice regarding race as a black female athlete is something new to me but I knew I could not stay silent. Using my voice about experiences of my own Might help someone who can relate or might shed light to those who might not be knowledgeable about the topic. Using my voice as a black female athlete can help drive change.

Representation in anything is important. To see someone who looks like you chasing their dreams, defying odds and breaking boundaries shows that anything is possible and attainable, especially in your desired field.

Giving all girls an opportunity to grow and succeed is so important to the growth of not only our sport, but all of life! FFH doesn’t only care about their athletic abilities, but wants to invest in young girls lives and mentor them as they navigate all of lives crazy, and sometimes unexpected terms. These young girls become women, and those women have a chance to be the leaders and dreamers of the next generation!
