Former AEW Chief Brand Officer Brandi Rhodes recently shared on social media that she had to overcome a lot of barriers to make it in the professional wrestling industry. She wrote,
“Here’s what’s real. There are real barriers in this world. For women, for people of color, for people in the LBGTQIA+ communities and more. I land in two of these categories. As a recent mom, I find the challenges to be even greater as I grow in this life stage.
“There’s a lot of ignorance out there. It doesn’t define us. Ignoring it won’t make it vanish. However, success speaks volumes. Diamonds are formed out of pressure. I’m a diamond, as are so many that can identify. It’s not easy, though it appears to be from the outside.”
