“For one of the very few people of colour within our sport, to be able to voice out your feelings and be open about experiences, you’ve had to not be sure – because of the backlash that might come from that if it’s interpreted the wrong way.
“And now we live in a space where we can be more open about it. No one has the right to tell us to shut up anymore.
“And I think that’s super empowering,” concluded Hamilton.
