Darcy Bourne

Darcy Bourne is a professional athlete, an activist, and a student. A professional athlete in the GB and England Women’s Hockey Teams, and a previous student at Duke University, our UK Expansion Director, Darcy, offers a unique experience of living in both the UK and the US.

During the summer of 2020, a photograph of Darcy holding a sign asking “Why is Ending Racism a Debate?” was taken at the Black Lives Matter protests and shared virally, even by the likes of Dr. Martin Luther King, III. Since then she has relentlessly and courageously used her platform as an athlete and activist to educate and promote equality, diversity and inclusion, and is a role model for many. Darcy has extensive experience talking about Equity, Diversity and Inclusion and has spoken on multiple news channels, documentaries TV series, podcasts, the radio, at schools, and other major events. Her degree in Sociology from Nottingham University also facilitates her to speak on these matters.

She brings the experience of entrepreneurialism from her experience of co-founding the company, Beyond Our Game, a diversity initiative aimed at uniting and empowering student-athletes of color.

Whether it is on the field, on TV, on a panel, or in the classroom, Darcy has always been a leader, and is excited to create a team to continue the incredible work “A Long Talk About The Uncomfortable Truth” has begun in the US.
