All Are Welcome Here
Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Matter
The Southern Storm Volleyball Club would like to acknowledge support from The Winnipeg Volleyball Academy and their leadership in making sport a safer and more inclusive space for everyone. We also extend our thanks with their support for the creation of this content and sharing their resources with us.
Please take a moment to listen to a Volleyball Academy Coach/Technical Specialist and Manitoba Volleyball legend Wanda Guenette, speak about their personal experiences with racism in sport.
At Southern Storm Volleyball Club, we believe that sport can build bridges and grow communities. We believe that everyone should take time to learn more about how to contribute to equity, diversity and inclusivity in sport and in life.
