I am an alumni member of the inaugural 2023 #SheBelongs Team. My team of Utah refugee and non-refugee girls and I went to the Women's World Cup in Auckland, New Zealand. It was an incredible experience of bonding, challenges, and joys.

You can watch a moving trailer of the feature-length documentary film we made to help spread the message of inclusion, love, and potential through this game I love. Link here.

This 2023 Trip was just the start of the #SheBelongs movement and I am SO excited to be able to take my experience, passion, and abilities to help produce the 2025 #SheBelongs Global Cup in Madrid Spain in June 2025. There we will meet, learn, and play with hundreds of young women from several countries as well as key leaders in Spain, home of the reigning World Cup queens.

This campaign isn't just about an amazing trip to Spain. It's really about creating special opportunities for young women like me, and for those who may not seem like me, to work hard, to grow through a robust education curriculum, consistent teamwork, creative local service, and limitless ambition.

I really hope you will support me and my new teammates, and millions of girls around the world who deserve to be seen for who they are and what they can do, not their gender or race.

Thank you!
