So valuable is one of the most popular teams bullets in the world, but it doesnt enjoy exactly the same profile as football and basketball, for example of them. Im and how would you explain to of us who maybe arent familiar with the sport and what the culture around for people is like why initially wanted to proceed that school. So its a support that is growing in the last couple years with the National Team and then the italian league, we have achieve a lot of things and i feel like those children are like more interested. I want you to try it and its not just the typical. Okay, lets play soccer and football. And so we are creating awareness and i love it. Im so proud of being part of this community and to make sure during drain. And when you think about a future of what people, what do you want to see in terms of its development . How do you want to see things go in the future . So what i would love to see is the a quality, its a, the women and men i would love for you to be on the same level. I feel that a cell as a lady in low is this like, there are more i talked. And i mean this is support you with any of those like its normal. So i would love for our community to protect us and it wants to to a bit about your backgrounds. You have such an interesting story. Thats really kind of ledger into this for your parents moved to its an e s from nigeria and he was born in italy. Yes. That you didnt receive this in the shape until you are 14. Yes. How did that make you feel growing up in it today . So at the beginning i didnt think about that, like, you know, youre drove child, theyre just happy to be here. I mean, since i was late to i would travel back home to name g area and i loved it. The people, the culture and just the mentality. But of course, i was grateful for what i had in a totally growing up the school and now hes really thinks its comfortable. I feel that there are so many of those things that i would love to change for my own children. The most important thing is the teachers, the thing is the teacher goal to make children grow with open mind and not being the one point to now the defense a between natal shows, rex, did you have examples of feeling kind of singled out by ortizs. Uh yes, its something i never thought about. Um, so i was in cube garden and hours on the phone playing with this child and were just sitting on the guarding and pulling out the grass, laughing kind of fun. And its cheer came and wasnt happy about what were doing. But she decided to put just me on the patients. And i didnt understand. So i was like, okay, whatever, im just going to see here and your child i, your, well, and i remember i had to go to those highlights. I went to a few turn those. I hate to try and go to the tyler. Shes like, no, you cant. And i repeated this 3 times and then i couldnt keep it anymore. So i ran to the toilet, but i couldnt make it on time. And i eventually ended up doing everything on myself. And then the moment the teacher came a last with me and said, oh my god, you smells so bad luck, people smell and she never cleaned me. She was there for my mazda. Com and when we got home, my mom and i sat down and we had a conversation where she explained to me in a protective way. Shes like, hey, youre always going to be the best. Always clean, behave well, the way you talk and itll be perfect because they are going to comment you. So growing up, i had this thing where still now, i mean i hyper sensitive but im working them showing this part um, but it goes up nice that face. So that is a very vulnerable thing to discuss. What makes you want to talk about that now . Because i realize that i can be the voice of my community or, and any person that feel presented by me. So its important then for me to share this, the to f is because i want them to know that i know what theyre going through. And we have the choice to choose which, which pots to take. A Pivotal Moment impala going is johnny to the top of professional volleyball, was joining the lines club academy academy. Greatest ideas, honey, and body full federation, as a way to strengthen the National Teen capitana. You offers promising teenagers a combination of intense Training School education and creasing the chance to compete against the professional Team Marketing incorrectly. Head coach, the womens Team Explains how it works, and thats why the project is here. Be died. Yeah, and thats why the key. No, you tell me that this, you bought it. Ive already come to navigate companies theyve gotta be own or allow us to go in the village and say these we do put that. Can you go at the most proud on and yeah, and media. Very good on that. If you guys up at the bottom edge of it, the issue, the look, you find the boxes that i most, lets call that, ill send you on a so a be more disquieted. He said the older than most of them get out of the Program Going up into the rest of the get go new is all into his lead. Cosmetology is most renowned, graduate, say far one, that the new generation looks to as an inspiration to know if youre going to be to dont put into the city mental fed up more than last year. See any. So i looking for the actual visit to these with that to go thing was all Little Something i was told you were going to tell someone to read it to you, but the, somebody about your non competitive course. Like i thought that i bought some of those, itd be thought i talked to a more that i can join us, but i didnt even, i dont have the ability to pick up my idea. And so when you were 16 us to find the home and she said a lot to go and join the club is how do you, can you explain . Well, that experiences likes you leaving home at such a young age to gone to see that it was an amazing experience. And it was hard because i left home when i was 13. So your conference, so in your familys the next few. And then thats when you grow that you can make people and make them become your and your family. So thats well my character developed and im really grateful because they really have the patients to give me time to work because i was really skinny. And i how to work on my muscles, talked to her. So the 1st 3 years doc, what they put me on and their goal was make me disable to make sure i will dont get injured. And then the 3 years after i started to play more valuable and like with experience, i improved. So you spoken about the support these had from your mother and the way she, i guess, gave you advice to navigate through the challenges that you might face. And then being all the way in another city away from your family. Did you struggle with that . Did you find it hard being away from that support network . Yes, it was hard. Its hard because i was a baby. And you know, the 1st person you run to your mom, so it was hard to find in your new support is that i found that the guys that were really like welcoming those amazing all the time it was the youngest. So i had the possibility to grow with all the atlas and valuables later it is nice. Just seems interesting that you say youre the youngest because i notice that youll be able to send your family to the eldest sister. Yes. Um, i wanted to ask what i experienced is like being the oldest sister having to navigate one of these things. Being the 1st one. Did you find that hard . Not having an older siblings to be able to tell you how to navigate. My mom in my dad work has to wake up early in the morning and it would be like, hey, you need to dress a sister dressing rather you to make sure they have breakfast and then youre going to take them to school and then you go to your school so they gave me that sense of responsibility towards others. Its interesting that you then moved on to go to club, italia and you were the younger. Yeah. So its a completely different world. Yeah. It was a different and also because i have a strong character. So like, there are times that i have to bite my tongue of like poly or the youngest, like, you know, but the thing that motivated me was i loved to make sure my sister and my brother never left anything. And till now this is my goal. Whatever they need, whatever they dream about, i want to be able to have down for field their attorneys. What kind of things does that look like then . When youre thinking about them . Is it more of a material thing . Is it about mentality . And so i feel more mentality of support. Mm hm. So decided that im able to give them what they need and they came dream date. Where does that come from that dreaming back . Is it volleyball that has given you that, or is it in the background or its my family . Yeah. And my dad was the other brother and she moved from nigeria to europe all alone because the only thing that talked about was the family i went to do all i can to make my brothers and sister and my parents never saw her again. So i, i feel its a legal meet in my dna and also the way my parents brought me up with the values. I just feel it inside just many states in europe who are black or minority, have a screw to me on their identity. The others dont have that scrutiny that you face lets you in 2022 wanting to take a step back from the National Team of its an a what was the exact thing that led to you . One thing to make that decision. So were, were applying for the word time to shape turnover, and well also send the final against the rest of the amazing game like you, we couldnt do anything about that. We were really disappointed because we really wanted that. So i was really vulnerable in that period. So when i do things, i do them with all my heart and then for all my efforts, all my energy goes there. And i was a satisfied for how i performed, especially for how i practiced. So i was really valuable for that. I was a happy i was a proud of what i did. And then all the create this is start. So it came from of the social media. Okay. Yes. And you know, as of that, i was searching for a, you know, like, okay, im just going to watch a movie or im just going to be on instagram is whats going on. And thats how i saw it like i was searching for it. And that hurt me because you know, when youre vulnerable, like you doubt yourself. Reading those teens and sharing them made me doubtless, of more. And the worst i was a see tell you i really dont know how it got to that point. I just, i was devastated like when we played the final kurt and for the place i remember sitting in the national item and i was crying was heart, but i still want it to be there because of my dollars in idaho. And after the game, i was mentally physic. I was trained so i actually never expected. This was going to come out and i was just like crying to my manager and someone record the video and because it, when i got shed and i are. And so yeah, for what i mean by, oh, okay. And what was he was saying when it went by or so the 1st thing the deed was like interviewing me and theyre like hey, so is it true what you say . So at that point, i ought to say i was like right now, lets take a stand by can think about me as a professor. Because if i didnt, i wasnt going to be true to myself. Its amazing that you say that because very often you meet athletes who are the top of the great and, and the pressure is, you know, youre in, youre at a 20th, you have to just fight, youve got this place. So how do you align those 2 things . That thing are being the best and also looking at yourself and making sure that your truthful to your yourself and whats best the. So it was the 1st time its happened to me, cuz normally i would suck it up and be like, hey, youre strong. And when you haul like you can let it out. But in the moment i couldnt, im pretty sure that was the 1st time they saw me so valuable in front of everyone. And do you think that they respected that vulnerability or not . They, they, they understand that the, the understand where it was coming from. They do understand that in that moment i was in the atlanta, i was a girl. That was heart, that was tired and those cries they side as i was just based 12 and it was just opportune up i just want to i station. And thats what heard mean was because yes, im not with that song strong, but im a person and i have my own english shows. And even if i dont show you this maybe is the reason why i dont show you my emotions. Because when i do open up, you never sent the team and were like, wow, this is why shes going through these now, i guess taken that time reflected how you feeling now that you have taken that step back. So i have the facility to pick up lane, turkey as blocking bunk. And after the war time i was so happy else. Wow. Im not going to know anything from whats going on. And they turn in the, what theyre saying about me, like, i dont want to know anything. Im blocking that side. And i remember getting there and they welcomed me so good. Like as a person. So i had time to hill and i go to a amazing for years and i took my time and i remember one morning i woke up and i was like, well, i feel good now. I realized that for this, for you, when engine those and you are the strongest, when no matter what comes to you, you take it and you get out and you keep going because it wants to be the best. I know i go through, i know the software, i know the sacrifice this and its amazing. And i was allow anyone that doesnt know how it tastes to wake up every day and side for something. Youre truly believe to take that dream away from me to go back to the point that you made, you want to leave and the fast days. A lot of female athletes, a lot of athletes who are from black and ethnic minority backgrounds. They do face a lot of crease in the, in the media, and theres so much pressure. You see other players around the world really strongly is. How can you protects women from reaching a breaking point of having to take a step back at such a key point in the career . I feel we should create our own re to community. So we should all join together because of them are going through the same things. But i feel like there is always these shyness and reaching out and making desktop. But this is my dream because when you have jo gars is right next for you and youre going through something, youre going to speak up for you. If you were to choose other female assets that youre seeing here, i have a come the challenges that female actually is face. Who would you want to have on your team and youre pulling on . I would love to have it on William Serena williams. Yes. Why . What is about how specific a i just love the way she was or that quick that she maybe its so important that you will see a woman. What do you mean . How hard it is to be a woman like youre young and you want to place for your beaches and you keep working for it. But then you one moment inside you, you all just need to live and you know like i want to be a mom. I want to create my own family. I want to have a nice to be lazy and youre like you dont know whats the right decision because they make it seem as a decision. You cant have it both because oh my god, given those years of courier. Oh my god, theres someone that is going to be better than you only got are you sure . Maybe you cant play anymore. And i loved the way she was like know. And the fact that she had her child is that when she knows that shes having a fast baby. Yes. Okay. And then she went back a day, then she was still advised me that sounds. And that that was like, thats how you prove it. Thats how you from there around and you talk about they do you think about they is the media or is it more like a, a general public thing . I feel as the society. Okay. Like for me is people that are not serious about the side that there are some rules that are not reaching out as well, like falls them and them like, why are we our own person . We have our own conked out own dreams, and why do i need to stay and just lead to inbox . I wanted to say i love seeing social media. I love seeing you having fun. You are 24 us so young and youre still living your life. What is it that makes you most happy away from volleyball um connect to with people. Mm hm. And i love to those. I last question.
