Natalie White: Natalie grew up an athlete, playing basketball through college. She experienced inequity in sport as many women athletes have, but doesn’t think wearing shoes designed for men should be one of them. She wants to help give women equal footing in the world of basketball, not just culturally, but physically. Natalie is the founder of Moolah Kicks, the first women’s basketball shoe brand built by and for female ballers, recognizing and addressing the unique anatomy of women’s feet.
“What I love most about this campaign is the energy and passion Natalie, Charlotte and Malik and Miles have for addressing issues that are so relevant today. They turn obstacles into opportunities not just for themselves but for others. Windows 11 just helps them do what they love.”—Kathleen Hall, Chief Brand Officer, Microsoft
