BUT I AM MORE THAN A WOMAN; I AM AN ATHLETE, A DAUGHTER, A SISTER AND HUMAN BEING.

YOU CALL ME JUST A GIRL AND I SAY TO YOU I AM MORE THAN AN A WOMAN.

YOU REMIND ME I DON’T BELONG  IN SPORTS AND I SAY TO YOU I AM MORE THAN AN ATHLETE.

YOU SAY TO ME MY ROLE IS IN THE KITCHEN 

AND

I REMIND YOU THAT I AM INDOMITABLE

AND

UNSHAKEABLE

AND

UNDEFEATABLY HUMAN—BECAUSE WOMEN LEAD BETTER.

I AM AN ATHLETE WHO IS HAPPENS TO BE A HUMAN-WOMAN;

I AM NEITHER YOUR FOE NOR YOUR NEMESIS — I AM SIMPLY HUMAN.

MY NAME IS LARI

AND

I AM LARI AND I AM MORE THAN A WOMAN ATHLETE:

I am more than A WOMAN in the land of immigrants and so the hate you give cannot break me — can’t break me.

I belong here as much as you do — and  vice versa; and vice versa.

I AM BECAUSE YOU ARE and you are because I am: I am not your foe;

I AM LARI and LARI is who I am.

- let love reign.

- let hate go.

- let me alone be.

I AM MORE THAN-A-WOMAN-ATHLETE //
