Charissa Thompson (Charissa Jean Thompson) Quotes
In the very early stages of working in sports, I was sick of being referred to as "the Barbie doll" because I had long, blond, fake hair.

I was trying to get away from the stereotype but what I realized in doing that is that what I say and how I conduct myself in what I do will speak for itself, and I don't need to apologize for being a woman in that space.
