"Women are Sports"

Women are powerful, women are sports! I’ve been thinking a lot about when I was growing up, seeing the objectification of women in literally every movie, music video and advertisement. Except one. An ad that showed women as powerful athletes. I remember suddenly feeling empowered as a young girl. That message has stayed with me throughout my life. And I still only buy @Nike running shoes. I am no athlete, but I look up to and support all of the female athletes who help remind us that women are powerful! Women are sports! #womenaresports #girlpower #nike #comic #sydneysweeney Alt text: comic one: Sydney Sweeney holding footballs, saying "it's just an ad" come two: A woman looking at her phone angry, the phone saying trolls comment, "you are just jealous" comic three: The woman is picking up a pair of Nike shoes, saying "NO." comic four: The woman is tying her running shoes, saying, "As a young girl, I watched women objectified in every movie, music video and advertisment" comic five: The woman as a little girl watching tv and narrating "but there was one ad I remember seeing that was different" as a smiling woman beams down at her from the tv screen. comic 6: The woman narrating, "an ad that showed women as powerful athletes" as a little girl looking up at Serena Williams on the tv screen, saying "You are capable!
