I kicked anyway, but I left the dream of doing this professionally, because I also had no idea how this should be feasible.

Today, I enjoy reading books like ONE LIFE by Megan Rapinoe and seeing what can be possible. At the latest since winning the 2019 World Cup in France, the US-American has become an icon of her sport and is an unconditional advocate for LGBTIQ*."}
