In this episode I talk with Jessica Scannell to learn how she is making inclusion in sport happen for multicultural communities through her work at Welcoming Australia.
⚠️ We had some technical issues with the video recording on this one. So, sorry but you won't see my face for most of the episode.
Jessica Scannell originally from Ireland has played basketball at an elite level, has lived a migrant experience in multiple countries and now calls Melbourne, Australia home. She has experienced first hand the power sport has to heal and develop a sense of belonging for people from migrant backgrounds and people with disabilities and is determined to create more opportunities for more people to access all the benefits she has gained through a life of sport.
