From the Courts to the Culture

In this episode, Shari Tucker and I engage in a thought-provoking conversation about Title IX, basketball, soccer, and equity work within the context of our personal journeys as former Division I college student-athletes.  We delve into the triumphs and challenges that shape the ever-evolving landscape of equity in the educational arena.  We also explore the transformative power of equity work and its resounding impact on the lives of students, athletes, and society as a whole.
