Maiya has a slight frame and a gentle presence, but exudes power that makes you wonder what drives her. When asked what she’s say to anyone underestimating a quiet force, she says: “Less talk, more action.” @maiyakarin @mooremaya @nike #untilweallwin #bhm #futurevarsity @prettygirlssweat @georgiastateuniversity Photo Credit: @flongala
It’s 7am in downtown Atlanta, and Maiya swings her legs out of bed, placing her feet directly into her running shoes. She starts her morning run before she’s even fully awake. Maiya is studying computer information systems and managerial sciences, but she doesn’t let her workload slow her down. In addition to being a full-time student, finishing her senior year at Georgia State University, she is also on the Georgia State University track and field and cross country teams. She’s best known for her outstanding times in the 800m. (Cont.) @maiyakarin @mooremaya @nike @nikewomen @jumpman23 #untilweallwin #futurevarsity

Today, Sharrod is a kindergarten teacher, athletic trainer and the de facto Youth Ambassador of East Atlanta. Sharrod founded East Atlanta Field Day to expand youth access to sports and build bonds across his community. He supports and collaborates with fellow entrepreneurs and youth leaders in order to maximize their potential and build community solidarity in the face of rapid displacement and gentrification across Atlanta. @ea_golightly @e_reid35 @nike #untilweallwin #bhm #futurevarsity Photo by @flongala
Sharrod’s roots run deep. Beginning at age 8, he played organized football in East Atlanta, Georgia. He credits football with opening his eyes to the strength of his character and the importance of collective movement. After a highly decorated career as a Division I football player, he returned to East Atlanta on a mission—to be a catalyst for an East Atlanta Renaissance.

No matter how big. You can do it: Think it. Believe it. Plan for it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And reach out to us if we can support you through it in any way 🖤

Reposting @Theescapistswebseries this beautiful photo of @taranajaneen •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In her powerful @ted talk, she shares with us:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “Those who came before us didn’t win every fight. But they didn’t let it kill their vision. It fueled it. So I can’t stop. And I’m asking you not to stop either. We owe future generations a world free of sexual violence. I believe we can build that world. Do you?”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Design by @oyetanya 🖤
