Thank you, @realsaltlake, @RealMonarchs, @UtahRoyalsFC. Please keep speaking out and standing up, you're a lot louder than me. #StrongerTogether

Thank you especially to:

@kickback_nedum & @tziarra for talking with me and making me feel less alone
&
@WasatchLegion for welcoming me in so completely when I spent so much time feeling like I wasn't wanted there, y'all showed me the love of community in sports

I've been waiting so long to talk about this out of fear. It hurt me so much, I've never questioned my self worth more than I did at that job.

But it's not fair to me or any other WOC who has experienced this to say nothing.

Adding this note bc I think more people than my lil group may see this:

- I don't hate anyone at RSL
- I'm not here to destroy them
- I'm here to say thank you to the players
- & I'm here to stand up for me and other WOC that have gone through this bc silence fixes nothing

Again, I don't think this happened intentionally, but it happened nonetheless & it hurt me. Given the team's efforts around #BlackLivesMatter

& racial justice and equality, I want to thank them for using their platform, & use my little platform to get this off my chest.
