About 7 months ago, I got a phone call from Cynthia Mumbo. I found it funny, unprofessionally asking, “You good?” and instantly felt so embarrassed when she calmly asked, “Can I speak to Gloria?” Maybe she thought I had an assistant or a little sibling picking up my phone hahaha. Cynthia is such a respected and iconic figure in the sports industry. Hearing from her was both shocking and surreal. I couldn’t believe she even knew I existed, let alone had my number. That call changed everything. She told me I had been recommended to apply for the first She Drives Sports leadership cohort. I doubted myself. I was just 18 and the program was for women sports leaders aged 24-35. I procrastinated and self-sabotaged until Cynthia called again a week before the deadline. That follow-up finally pushed me to apply. Those 7 months flew by. From reconnecting with familiar faces to meeting role models like Esse Akida, and from strangers to besties with people like Damima. This journey has been beyond what I could imagine. Thank you Cynthia, Dorcas, Wanjiku and Boke for making this vision a reality. I’m so grateful for your guidance, trust, and for believing in me. Cynthia was right, “I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.” If you’re thinking of applying for Cohort 2 or want to explore partnership opportunities, feel free to reach out. We’re driving and rewriting the sports code! :) #shedrivessports  #RewritingTheSportsCode  #SDSGraduation25  #womeninsports  #14thgunner #womenoftiktok #sportsontiktok #womensfootball
