Ainka Jess is an avid sports fan and became concerned with the decreased involvement of girls in sports when they reached their early teens. On top of that Ainka was hearing from women who reported being shut-out of any sports-related discussion where men were involved.
In response, Ainka formed She’s4sports, an organization that advocates for more equitable representation of women in sports, by, among other things, profiling women involved in a wide variety of sport related careers. In this episode Ainka talks about speaking out when you see an issue, and not feeling like you have to wait for that perfect moment.
