Olivia Moultrie and Deyna Castellanos: Breaking Barriers and Changing the Game

What does it take to change the game before most players even graduate high school? At just 13, Olivia Moultrie challenged the system to follow her dream. At 14, Deyna Castellanos inspired a generation of girls in Latin America. Now teammates on the Portland Thorns, they join host Karina LeBlanc for a raw, real conversation about courage, sacrifice, and purpose. From Olivia’s fight to create new opportunities for young players to Deyna’s mission of opening doors across Latin America, they share the power of betting on yourself and the responsibility of paving the way for others. Together, they reflect on representing Portland — a city uniquely supportive and invested in women’s sports — and what it means to play in front of fans who set the standard for the game.
