‘I became a pariah in corporate America’

Jennifer Sey on her ousting from Levi’s, the death of DEI and her fight for women’s sports.

Topics Identity Politics Sport USA

Jennifer Sey – former US national-champion gymnast and brand president at Levi’s – was on her way to the top of the corporate ladder when her career was brutally cut short. For speaking out against Covid school closures, she was branded a heretic, smeared as a bigot, and Levi’s demanded her silence. Here, she gives her inside story of the great ‘awokening’ of corporate America, and explains why the cancel culture that forced her out may now finally be in retreat. Plus, she discusses her new venture, XX-XY Athletics, and its battle to keep men out of women’s sports. Watch, share and be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel.
