One January
One January is an ethical activewear company that makes sustainable athletic apparel from recycled plastics. We are committed to supporting global sport and leadership opportunities for women impacted by war and poverty.
I created One January to connect women across borders to rise up and push boundaries in sports and life. As an athlete, I believe when more women have opportunities to play sports, more women will become leaders. It's time to level the playing field and get on it.
One January is an ethical activewear company based in Austin, Texas that makes sustainable apparel from recycled plastics. We have committed to match $1 donation for every $1 we make to support global sport and leadership opportunities for women impacted by war and poverty.
I've seen the work sports can do in a conflict zone first hand. I worked alongside NATO troops as a journalist in Afghanistan from 2015 to 2021. While working at NATO's Headquarters in Kabul I started training the first Afghan women to swim, bike, and run with my nonprofit She Can Tri. Our top two athletes both went on to earn scholarships to study in the United States, and in 2022 we made history as She Can Tri's Zeinab became the first Afghan woman to cross the finish line at the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship.
To launch She Can Tri, in 2018, I also took on my own challenge, and became the first woman in the world to complete six IRONMAN triathlons on six continents within one year. Also, in 2018, my two-part series about the double standard for women in the U.S. Marine Corps was nominated for an Emmy.
If you'd like to get in touch I'm available for online programs, media interviews, podcasts and keynotes on the following topics: women in innovation, women in high performance, and using sports as a vehicle for social change for yourself and others. Please email marketing@onejanuary.com to set something up.
