“My hope would be eventually it’s just “coach,” she told Stackhouse.

“Recognized for my skills and my talents and my mind and my work ethic just like the next person.”

While discussing barriers, Hammon also visited Girls Inc., an organization that works to inspire the next generation of strong, smart, bold women.
