Jennifer Sey's Fight to Reclaim Title IX, Protecting Women's Sports and Spaces

Jennifer Sey went from national champion gymnast in 1986 to being vilified 22 years later for blowing the whistle on the rampant abuse in national women’s gymnastics. Ten years later, she lost her job as a top executive at Levi’s for speaking out on the harm to children caused by pandemic school closures. But this is a woman who does not back down. Which is why Jennifer has founded her own clothing company, XX+XY Athletics. In her words, she “teamed up with a rag-tag group of canceled, ousted and self-described misfits. And … created an athletic brand that would stand for the truth and America’s highest ideals: equality of opportunity, freedom of speech, open debate and dissent and striving for excellence.” Tune in as Mark Chenoweth and Jenin Younes chat with this fascinating iconoclast, discussing her journey from a women’s athletic champion to a champion for women’s athletics.
