She Finds Inspiration in Activists Past and Present
In 2019, the SheBelieves Cup took place during Women's History Month. To honour the occasion, each USWNT player chose a woman who inspired them and wore their name on the back of their jersey. Press chose civil and women's rights activist Sojourner Truth. "Sojourner Truth is the original intersectional activist — advocating for people who have layers of oppression being Black and female," Press explained to US Football at the time. "She is the ultimate hero for us today, centuries later, as we grapple with the same problems and try to better our world regarding these complex social issues."
