Giving back is important to me because I’m Christian and Jesus teaches on giving to others and lending a hand to your brothers and sisters. It’s also important for me to give because those who came before me gave back to me. I feel like it’s my duty to serve others just like Christ did.

Kensley Simmons
Soccer - Southern University

Giving back is important to me because I know how powerful it is to see someone who looks like you in a space where you don’t always see yourself represented. In soccer and any sport, representation matters and a genuine sense of belonging is super important. I want to be an example for the next generation and help create more opportunities for them to shine and uplift others in the future.
