WNBA star Chelsea Gray and NASCAR driver Zach Herrin shared their journeys.
Although the industry has become more inclusive in recent years, many are still experiencing some struggles to be their authentic selves especially in the beginning of their journeys., the University of Winchester and the Sports Equality Foundation in 2021 showed that more than 95% of high school and college athletes said their teammates responded positively to their coming out, another study showed the opposite.
After making his professional race debut at 16, he said that "should have been one of the happiest times" for him, but that wasn't what he was feeling at the time. "I'm extremely fortunate to have such a supportive family because I've learned since I've become more immersed in our community that is not something to be taken lightly," he continued. "And I'm super thankful for that."
He continued, "And then visibility, offering platforms to those athletes of minority backgrounds, to reach new markets to continue to grow the sport to to again to make it a sport made of people." "I got tired of hiding parts of myself," she added. "When I finally told everyone, there was this relief…like, this is Chelsea, and now I'm happy."
Opening up about juggling between motherhood and her career on the court, Gray told "GMA," "It's a never ending battle of finding balance."
