Black Women are taking over sports this year. With Black women dominating in sports like tennis, swim, track & field, and gymnastics, more Black female athletes have started to gain more attention and recognition from the media, sports fans, and the Black community.
With this year's Olympics taking place in Tokyo, many Black women in sports have secured their spot in representing team USA. More so now than ever, have shown interest in supporting Black female competitors. Representation in sports is especially important for Black women, as they are less represented than other demographics and deal with discrimination in sports. Black female athletes like Serena Williams and Florence "Flo-Jo" Jayne have opened doors for other Black women to pursue sports. As we near the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, here are five Black women on our radar that are competing this year.
