About Us

Brown Girl Sport is an award-winning online platform and community with the aim of representing South Asian women and girls in sport; through storytelling and providing a voice, in order to smash stereotypes that Brown women don’t do, care or know about sport.

​

In the UK, around 9% of the population are British South Asian. We recognise that South Asian women face challenges across society in terms of visibility, representation in media and equal access to professional opportunities.

​

This is especially true in the world of sport.

Our stories are often tokenised and deemed too niche for the mainstream media - or, focus primarily on our struggle rather than celebrating our strength.

​

Brown Girl Sport is here to change those narratives and normalise the telling of our stories. We are determined to uplift women from South Asian communities and make sure our voices are heard, while coalescing a wider sense of belonging and solidarity in sport.
