Join No. 1 New York Times bestselling author, Kate Fagan, for a conversation about the pressures of growing up LGBTQ+ in sports.

Una Conversacion Sobre Identidad, Inclusion, y dversidad en los deportes
Kate Fagan, autora n.º 1 de libros exitosos del New York Times, conversará con nosotros sobre las presiones de crecer siendo LGBTQ+; moderada por Megan Vogt.
Salir del clóset es sumamente difícil, pero jugar baloncesto para una universidad reconocida nacionalmente, y tratar de entender tu identidad sexual en el mundo paranoico de los deportes universitarios, que aún está en el clóset, es todo un desafío.
Participe en esta charla en la que Kate comparte las dificultades que atravesó durante su carrera como atleta de alto rendimiento y qué papel ha jugado su identidad en su carrera en ESPN y como autora galardonada.
Aprenda a hacer que el mundo sea un poco más fácil para que nuestros hijos tomen los pasos iniciales hacia aceptar quien realmente son.
