Diversity and Inclusion Training

Diversity and Inclusion Training will be lead by Katie Miyazaki –

Katie Miyazaki has a Master of Public Health degree, but her real knowledge comes in the sporting realm. She has been involved in a variety of sports as an athlete, coach, and administrator on all levels and in varying capacities. Joining the Wheelchair Basketball world in 2013 really opened her eyes to Diversity and Inclusion and sparked an interest in learning more and finding ways to make a difference. It was through sport that Katie found her voice to speak out and advocate for what she feels is needed and necessary.

Katie loves to learn and continues to reflect on her own intersectionality and how it influences her personal experiences. She also loves to hear other people’s stories and to create opportunities for people to find their passion and to gain a sense of belonging. She believes sport is an excellent vehicle for building skills like confidence and belonging but knows that there is still so much work that needs to be done in order to ensure sport is accessible and welcoming to all.
