Today is Independence Day in the United States, and last Thursday marked Canada Day. But this year, after the remains of more than 1,000 residential school victims were discovered, we have little to celebrate. We're using our platform today to highlight some of the many incredible Indigenous athletes who broke barriers and excelled in sports, while also dealing with racism, generational trauma and a long list of injustices.

We’re doing a deep dive into maternity leave and motherhood in sports. Grab a mimosa momosa (or your beverage of choice) and let’s get to it.

HAPPY PRIDE! To celebrate Pride Month, we’re taking a closer look at the relationship between the sports world and the LGBTQ2S+ community, at barrier-breakers who helped end stigma and inspire change and at the progress still needed for sports to be a safe space for everyone.

GOOD MORNING! And Happy Mother’s Day. Sending all our love to those having a difficult time today. To mark the occasion, we’re doing a deep dive into maternity leave and motherhood in sports. Grab a mimosa momosa (or your beverage of choice) and let’s get to it.
