equity in sports

Equity education and strategy for sports organizations committed to stronger leadership and healthier team cultures.

our commitment to equity in sports

Sports are often viewed as meritocratic spaces where talent and performance determine success. In reality, research and lived experience show that opportunity, compensation, leadership representation, and athlete support are not always distributed equally across gender, race, and identity.

Across professional leagues, college athletics, and youth sports systems, organizations continue to navigate disparities in leadership pipelines, pay equity, and inclusion for LGBTQ+ athletes and staff. These issues affect not only individual well-being, but also team culture, recruitment, retention, and public trust.

reframe52 was founded by queer women and women of color to help organizations move beyond surface-level diversity initiatives. Our intersectional, scaffolded education helps sports organizations ask deeper questions, examine systems that shape outcomes, and build cultures where athletes, staff, and leadership can all thrive.
