Ep 7: Eartha Pond on her evolution from trophy-winning footballer to powerful campaigner
Today’s guest is Eartha Pond, a footballer, councillor, keynote speaker and campaigner. The ex-Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs player won the FA Cup, Premier League and Championships in America but never played for England, before being elected a councillor and receiving accolades like Sports Teacher of the Year. Passionate about breaking down barriers for girls in sport, she’s part of Nike’s #StrongerWithSupport campaign centered on the importance of sports bras and shows off her entertaining ball skills in the video. She has also raised over £100k for GrenfelI Tower fire survivors and was named a ChangeMaker in the Evening Standards: Progress 1000. I’d heard her name and seen her in passing at matches well before I met her properly and she is incredibly inspiring a black woman pushing for change and succeeding.Find Eartha on Instagram here:https://www.instagram.com/_esp_2012/?hl=enHi Felicia here: https://www.instagram.com/feliciapennant/?hl=en For more fashion and football stories and info about SEASON zine, find us on Instagram and Twitter @season_zine or visit www.season-zine.com.Make sure you subscribe to The SEASON podcast so you never miss an episode.
