Our Why
We’re calling the red card against racism: racism isn’t just systemic, it’s individual. In the play to pay model, young Black girls experience racism first hand from teammates and parents. They don't cheer loud enough for her, they don’t shake her hand, they don’t celebrate her differences, they don’t treat her as an equal. These actions get in the way of her passion. We at the Black Women’s Player Collective are dedicated to confronting the systemic issues that hold back Black women by confronting actions that deny access, limit representation and deepen inequality in all aspects of society.
At age 14 girls drop out of sport at 2x the rate of boys. The dropout rate doubles for urban Black girls in sport. We’re in this for the long run to break barriers, progress the game and support her passion for soccer by means of exposure, education, and elevation.
The BWPC invites you to play a crucial role in shaping a just future for Black women and girls in soccer. Join us in making a difference by contributing to our cause.
