Ambassador
Over the years we at Sporting Equals have gained a myriad of ethnically diverse ambassadors. Our ambassadors have championed the very cause we work towards making a more accessible reality, for more ethnically diverse aspiring athletes. Our ambassadors have all achieved great feats within the sporting world. However, they do still feel a sense of racial inequality present in the sports industry and so they support us in our cause to deliver more equality in sport.
