NFL reporter Laura Okmin created her GALvanize foundation and penned the above tagline after spending years as a successful reporter but noticing one thing: the lack of a strong network of women.
“I always thought that women learning to empower themselves will change your life, but women empowering other women changes the game,” Okmin told Vikings.com.
Since officially launching GALvanize in 2011, Okmin has hosted seven boot camps (with two more scheduled in July and August) to give women the tools they need to succeed in the world of sports – both in front of the camera and behind.
