E37: Creating a Safe Haven - How Romaney Pinnock is Making Football Accessible for Girls

This week, we welcome another awesome female leader in football. Romaney Pinnock is the founder of Badgers Academy in South Africa, and she has a very clear mission: Creating a safe space for girls to play football. Romaney joins us for an inspiring wide-ranging conversation that includes: The origins of Badgers and the positive impact they are creating in South Africa. The different “hats” she needs to wear to actually make change happen. We also discuss the state of women’s football and where investment is most needed to unlock the next level of growth. Finally, we also get to know Romaney as a leader and the advice she has for aspiring female leaders of the football industry. Romaney is honest, strong, and direct.
