The Rex Project, April 14, 2023

On April 14th, The Rex Project released Karelle’s story of her experience with abuse.

Karelle Edwards-Perry, a former professional hurdler and co-owner of Embrace Your Pace, speaks out about her experience with abuse in track and field, why she stayed, how she recognized the abuse, and what stepping away from the sport she dedicated years of work to looked like.

Her voice is powerful. Her story is impactful. Her experience is heartbreaking and one we can’t let repeat for other athletes.

Through sharing stories like Karelle’s, we can join together to educate athletes and their supporters around to how to identify and respond to abuse, bringing us one step forward to living in a world with safe sports for all.
