Jamaican-American hurdler, CeCé Telfer, shares her journey to becoming the first openly trans-gender woman to win an NCAA title. CeCé talks us through her experience at Franklin Pierce University, and how her transition has allowed her to break down doors for trans-athletes to follow. In this episode she shares how she is continuing to push the boundaries of sports and change the culture of athletics. “You're valid in your feelings and you're not alone. You can do it too. At the end of the day, standing up for yourself and living your truth are the most important. You deserve to live your life. And you deserve to go all the way to the top, and you deserve a coach, and you deserve to be trained because you matter and fighting for that is right.” -CeCé Telfer
