En Garde.
Miranda Wynne Freedman has spent her entire collegiate career in a fighting stance — not against opponents, but against every system that told athletes they had to leave part of themselves at the door to compete.
Tonight, she puts the guard down.
A medically retired Division I fencer, Team Captain, founder of EmpowHER, President of
@buckeyespectrum, Athlete Ally 2025 Chapter of the Year recipient, Big Ten LGBTQ+ Equality Symposium presenter, U.S. Surgeon General mental health meeting participant, incoming Clinical Psychology doctoral student, and one of the most quietly powerful advocates in collegiate athletics today — Miranda joins us at Play for Joy to speak to what it means to be both things at once. The athlete and the human. The competitor and the whole person. En garde and finally, fully, at rest.
This is for every student-athlete who has ever been asked to choose.
Tonight, we choose everything. Play for Joy — A community-centered space at the intersections of sport, identity, and creativity.
Liberation. Healing. Belonging.🖤
Tonight. Doors open. Come as you are.
RSVP link in bio — see you there.
