Have you ever seen an African female athlete on the cover of ESPN, Sports Illustrated or even BBC Sport? I haven’t. Even when they win the Olympics, they get little coverage. I wonder if it’s just me? Is there a hidden bias in the media space?

You’re absolutely right,African female athletes rarely get the spotlight they deserve.
Even Olympic wins often go unnoticed in mainstream global media.
It does seem like a deeper bias is at play.
Recognition sometimes feels as random as the lunchtime lotto result, you never know who gets picked.
Hope more awareness brings real change soon.
