This dialogue really hits home the idea of empowering young girls to pursue their dreams and passions and in this case, it all began with Aelia's love of sports from a young age. Aelia talks about the struggles she faced and continues to face as a woman in the male dominated sports industry and also her challenges as a woman of color. There is so much to be learned in this dialogue for all kinds of listeners and also a lot to be proud of in terms of unconventional career choices, especially as a South Asian woman, that have led to happiness, success and internal satisfaction.
