Wyoming women’s basketball student-athlete Clara Tapia created the Many Stories Matter initiative to encourage student-athletes to talk about their experiences and perceptions regarding today’s climate and society.
“Clara developed Many Stories Matter not to receive a grade or an award, she just felt that it needed to be done,” said Dr. China Jude, Senior Associate AD/SWA at University of Wyoming.
Wyoming has hosted two discussions since creating Many Stories Matter, Stereotypes and The Power of Listening, and provided a meeting place for student-athletes to share their stories, thoughts, and opinions in a judgement free zone.
Tapia, who recently received Google Cloud Academic All-America® honors for the second consecutive year, facilitated and hosted both sessions.
