“In The Very Early Stages Of Working In Sports, I Was Sick Of Being Referred To As "the Barbie Doll" Because I Had Long, Blond, Fake Hair. So I Went And Bought A Boxed Hair Color, Dyed My Hair Black, And Put On Glasses. And I Looked Ridiculous. I Looked Like A Completely Different Person. I Was Trying To Get Away From The Stereotype But What I Realized In Doing That Is That What I Say And How I Conduct Myself In What I Do Will Speak For Itself, And I Don't Need To Apologize For Being A Woman In That Space.”
