In this episode of Project Unlaced, we sit down with Maegha Ramanathan, founder of Girls for Sports, a youth-led nonprofit working to combat gender inequality in sports. Founded when Maegha was just 13 years old, Girls for Sports has since grown to over 25 chapters, mobilized 1,500+ youth volunteers, and donated 10,500+ pieces of sports equipment worldwide.

Maegha shares her journey as a multi-sport athlete and the moment she noticed girls dropping out of sports due to sexism and discouragement. From cold-emailing Olympians to hosting advocacy conferences, free sports camps, and international equipment drives, she walks us through how Girls for Sports grew from a local idea into a global movement.
