✨Continuing a legacy of championing inclusivity at the 2024 Athlete Ally Action Awards ✨ Ten years ago, former Miss New York @clairebuff attended the first-ever Athlete Ally Action Awards, a groundbreaking event that recognizes the actions of individuals and organizations working to create LGBTQI+ inclusive spaces in sports and dismantle anti-LGBTQI+ discrimination on a global scale. In 2022, Miss New York 2021 @swp_in_nyc built on this legacy, presenting at the awards and continuing to champion the message of equality in sports. Today, I am honored to have been in attendance alongside Sydney, carrying forward this tradition of advocating for inclusivity and highlighting the transformative power of sports for ALL. Athlete Ally serves as proof that when all people are welcomed and empowered, the world of athletics becomes a beacon of unity and positive change. A heartfelt thank you to founder Hudson Taylor for his visionary leadership and unwavering advocacy in driving this important mission forward. Your dedication has inspired countless individuals and continues to move the needle towards a more inclusive future. #inclusion #ally #athleteally #empowerment #missnewyork #missnewyorkorg #missamerica #missamericaopportunity
