Welcome to the 18th episode of the Naari-tives! Today, we talk about the LGBT+ Community in Sports. Considering the multiple advantages that come with playing sports, the sports industry often poses an unfair disadvantage to those from the LGBT+ Community- many of them are faced with excessive hostility and discrimination. We decided to spark a coversation on the topic with Janki Mehta, the Co-founder of Mind Mandala, who gives us a lot of insights regarding the sports community across various different levels- be it sports in school or even elite sports!
