What does Black History Month mean to you?

It is a month to celebrate Black culture no matter where you are from.

What does it mean to you to be a Black athlete in university sport?

I believe it means when you go out and play your perspective sport, you are not only representing the name that’s in front of your jersey but also a culture that is shown all around the globe based on the colour of your skin.

“Nothing is given, everything is earned” Don’t go and ask for the respect from others, go and earn it.
