For a long time, I thought I was just good at adapting. I could walk into almost any room, figure out what version of myself would fit and get on with it. But there’s a difference between adapting and constantly making yourself smaller. And when you’ve spent a lot of your life being “the only one”, sometimes you don’t even realise you’re doing it. I’m still learning that taking up space doesn’t mean taking space away from somebody else. I can be passionate. I can have an opinion. I can question things. I can say when something doesn’t feel right. And I don’t have to represent an entire community every time I walk into a room. This Black History Month, I’m thinking about more than the people who came before us. I’m thinking about the rooms we’re creating for the people coming next. 🖤 If you’ve ever been “the only one” in a room, did you ever find yourself changing parts of who you were to fit in? #BlackHistoryMonth #BHM2026 #BlackWomen #BlackWomenInSport #RepresentationMatter...
