Crystal Dunn, one of the world’s best soccer players, feels ‘like someone has dimmed my light'
Posted Jul 26, 2021
Despite being ranked as the world’s sixth-best footballer, according to ESPN, former UNC player Crystal Dunn says she feels unable to fully shine both on and off of the pitch. Her experience is not uncommon for dark-skinned Black women. “I think as a woman of color on this team, especially a dark-skinned woman, I’ve always felt pressure,” she said.
