Additional quotes by Leah Williamson

So once you come into our game, there's no way we would alienate anybody. I don't think you would say anything in a woman's changing room that would shock anybody because it's so open. It's, be who you are, celebrate who you are, because this is a safe space for you.

The split second that they say something can affect you forever. So you're basically making a choice: do I want to live and just be happy in my bubble and be who I am, safely? Or do I want to stand up and be open about it, but then have to be strong enough to repel all of that negativity?
