Lola Pendande - Utah Basketball

“Sports brought me to meet family outside my own and I’m beyond thankful and happy that I get to learn from different people from different backgrounds. Those people that I’ve met I’m now able to call a lot of them my family, friends and sisters. What I would like people to know is that we should talk about uncomfortable topics, we need to see people as they are to be able to accept them and love them unconditionally.”

“I think what makes me unique is my capacity to understand and take different opinions and thoughts from everyone. Also my empathy for any person. I hope that athletes will use their platform to support us and make our followers realize that there’s an issue that needs to be addressed.”
