  • Kat Craig: Power, Ethics and Building Fairer Futures in Sport
    2025/12/02

    “We’re at an inflection point - fans, sponsors and the next generation are demanding better. Sport has to decide what future it wants.”

    Human rights lawyer and Athlead CEO Kat Craig joins Sue with a perceptive take on how sport can change the world, yet why it too often simply replicates its worst injustices.

    From an “allergic reaction to injustice” to frontline legal work and a decade in sport, Kat explains why she built Athlead to turn athlete voice, sport-for-good strategy and rights-based governance into real, lasting culture change.

    Kat breaks down the hard truths: sport’s centralised power and insularity create blind spots that exclude those harmed by discrimination and abuse. The fix isn’t a workshop or a press release - it’s leadership with lived experience, transparency and the courage to embed safeguarding and human rights across everything an organisation does.

    Kat unpacks athlete activism in a polarised era, where authenticity matters, scope matters and small, smart acts of allyship can move mountains.

    At grassroots level, Kat shares how clear values at her community-owned club empowered young men to stand with women and reject misogyny - even when the backlash came. And she’s clear about the moment we’re in - fans and sponsors now expect accountability, the next generation is demanding better and sport sits at an inflection point where brave decisions will define its future.

    A compelling blueprint from a pioneering voice on how to swap statements for structure and build safer, fairer sport for everyone.

  • Ramla Ali: Fighting for change

    Ramla Ali: Fighting for Change

    “I carried the hopes of a nation into the ring - but also the dreams of every young girl who’d been told no.”

    Boxer, Olympian, model and UNICEF UK ambassador Ramla Ali shares her extraordinary journey from fleeing conflict in Somalia to making history in the boxing ring. The first Somali, male or female, to compete for a world title, Ramla’s story is one of resilience, representation and the relentless pursuit of change.

    In this conversation with Sue Anstiss, Ramla reflects on a recent visit to the Dadaab refugee camp in Kenya where she witnessed both the devastating impact of aid cuts and the extraordinary hope of young women determined to build a better future. She speaks openly about her own family’s escape from Somalia, the courage of her parents and the sacrifices that shaped her life in the UK.

    Ramla reveals how she discovered boxing almost by accident, keeping her training secret from her family until they came to embrace her achievements with pride. She discusses what it meant to walk into the Olympic arena carrying Somalia’s flag and the trail she’s blazed for others to follow. Ramla talks proudly of the power of Sisters Club, the organisation she founded to give women and girls safe access to sport.

    From walking into a Boxercise class as a teenager to being the subject of an upcoming Hollywood film, Ramla has consistently challenged stereotypes and redefined what’s possible. Whether in the ring, in fashion, or in refugee camps, Ramla uses her platform to inspire change and to call for dignity, opportunity and equality for all.

    This is the story of a fighter whose greatest victories extend far beyond sport.

  • Melanie Barratt: Breaking barriers in open water
    2025/11/18

    Paralympic champion turned open-water pioneer Melanie Barratt shares her extraordinary story of resilience, courage and reinvention. Born with severe visual impairment, Melanie rose to the top of British swimming before stepping away from elite competition to explore new challenges.

    In 2024, Melanie made history as the first blind woman to swim the English Channel solo - an achievement she says means even more to her than her Paralympic gold medals.

    In this powerful conversation with Sue Anstiss, Melanie reflects on the joy of discovering water as a child, the pressures and triumphs of Atlanta and Sydney and why she walked away at the height of her career. She explains how open water swimming became her “happy place,” and why conquering the Channel was truly life-changing.

    Melanie also talks about “blind pride,” her golden prosthetic eye and the importance of representation, as well as her current mission to make open water events more accessible for swimmers with disabilities. Her story is one of breaking barriers, redefining limits and finding empowerment in nature.

    A conversation that will inspire us all to believe we can overcome fear and dive headfirst into whatever challenge calls us next.
