Growing up without seeing herself reflected in the sports she loved, water polo star Kali-Yah Taafili Taoso is changing the narrative. Both for herself and for the future generations of athletes.

In this clip from Game Changers, Taoso speaks to her Samoan and Cook Islander background, using her platform to inspire young people to pursue their dreams.

Scenes of her command and passion in the water drive home the point: change is possible.

With determination and optimism, Taoso positions herself as both a fierce competitor and advocate, showing how sport can be a vehicle for tremendous growth.
