For the Here for the Long Ball (#H4TLB) Audio Edition, I spoke with the amazing Erin Blankenship who is a conflict and security specialist as well as one of the founders of Equal Playing Field, a non-profit that uses soccer as a tool to end gender inequality in marginalized communities across the globe. What Erin and EPF accomplish every year is just amazing. From playing soccer on Mt. Kilimanjaro to setting up a match at the Dead Sea. They break world records to bring attention to their cause and I wanted to better understand how and why they make this magic happen. So before I left for France in 2019 to help them break yet ANOTHER two records, I got a chance to speak with Erin about growing up playing sports in Saudi Arabia and how that ignited her passion to foster more gender equality through sport.
