✨📣OUR FIRST YEAR📣✨
Memories have been made and lifelong friendships established through the power of sport and physical activity this year, and I feel extremely proud to have started this initiative back in August 2022.

Touching words from Serena about @andy_murray ❤️️
ALT I will always be grateful the support you gave myself, the support you gave women and the excitement that you brought & bring to tennis. Watching you win Wimbledon, and the US Open, and those gold medals were SO exciting and I just truly enjoyed it. So I’ve always been such a fan as you already know, and I will always be cheering for you and rooting you on in what you decide to do next so congratulations on such an amazing career. - Serena Williams on Andy Murray

Shouldn't the headline be: 'Female stars push boundaries with ̴o̴u̴t̴f̴i̴t̴s̴ incredible performances at Wimbledon'?
Do we really need to read until the 7th paragraph before we read about their skill rather than their fashion choices @guardian?

Our language matters📣
Limiting stereotypes seep into our children's perceptions and perpetuate the myth that girls don’t like sport and aren’t good at it.
We're all guilty of it, but we can all be part of the solution 👉 womeninsport.org/creating-ch…

For the women and girls of this country, for all the sportswomen who went before her who had their hopes and dreams stamped on...
We want to raise a chorus and a collective "**** off!" to misogyny. We love you Mary.
