Five years ago this week, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic.
COVID-19 disrupted all of our lives in major ways. For Jennifer Sey, the pandemic led to monumental changes that are still being felt today.
Sey had a successful career that she loved at Levi’s, serving as the iconic San Francisco company’s global brand president. When she began speaking up in 2020 about the harm that was being done to kids – including her own – by keeping schools shuttered far longer than necessary, she raised the ire of her colleagues.
Yet, Sey wouldn’t back down, and she was eventually pushed out from Levi’s in 2022 for simply speaking the truth.
Sey, a former national gymnastics champion, is still telling it like it is. She’s turned her truth-telling to women’s sports and has become a fierce advocate for keeping women’s athletics and spaces for women only.
In March 2024, she launched her own clothing brand, XX-XY Athletics, to raise awareness about the problems that come with allowing transgender athletes on women’s teams and to advocate for women in sports.
March is Women’s History Month, and we recently marked International Women’s Day, so I wanted to catch up with Sey – a woman who is not afraid to risk it all to stand for what’s right.
