»An all die LGBTQIA+ Kids da draußen: Ich sehe euch. Ich höre euch. Und ich werde für euch kämpfen, mit jedem Atemzug.« Megan Rapinoe: Fußballstar, Weltmeisterin, Olympia-Gold-Siegerin und furchtlose Kämpferin für die Rechte der LGBTQ-Community und für die Black Lives Matter-Bewegung. Ihr solidarischer Kniefall für den Schwarzen Football-Spieler Colin Kaepernik in 2016 ist unvergessen, ebenso ihre Kampfansage gegen Donald Trump. Für ihre Vision von einer gerechteren Welt erhebt Rapinoe ihre Stimme unermüdlich gegen Rassismus und Ausgrenzung, gegen Unrecht und Ungerechtigkeit. Nahbar und lebendig erzählt sie, wie sehr ihr Leben immer schon von mutigen Entscheidungen und dem Verteidigen ihrer Werte geprägt war. Und sie inspiriert ihre Leser*innen, wie alt sie auch sein mögen, in diesem einen Leben im eigenen Umfeld etwas zu bewirken und die Welt zu einem besseren Ort zu machen. Fesselnd, inspirierend und auf Augenhöhe, erzählt von der Fußball-Ausnahmesportlerin Megan Rapinoe. Mit über 30 persönlichen Schwarzweißfotos.
