Many know Brittany Mahomes as the wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, Patrick Mahomes. However, there’s so much more to the busy entrepreneur.
In addition to having three children at home, she is a former soccer player and co-owns the Kansas City Current, a professional women’s soccer team. Elevating women’s voices in the sports world is something Mahomes feels very passionately about.
Now, Brittany Mahomes is being honored with a Champion for Change award.
Brittany Mahomes is Recognized For Being a “Champion for Change”
Women’s voices are being recognized now more than ever before, but there’s still a long way to go. Brittany Mahomes knows just how important it is to use her platform to promote change.
That’s precisely why United WE chose Mahomes as their “Champion for Change.” The 30-year-old proudly shared the news on social media.
“Such an inspiring morning with @unitedwe__ celebrating progress and influencing action! It was such an honor to receive the inaugural Champion for Change award in the stadium that represents what it looks like when womenâs needs are prioritized in sports and in the workplace. No better place to celebrate women than a stadium built for women!” Brittany Mahomes shared on Instagram.
Of course, Patrick Mahomes was there to cheer on his wife.
“Congrats babe! You deserve it! Love you!” the NFL quarterback congratulated her in the comments.
The 1UP Sports Marketing Instagram account shared a video of Brittany Mahomes accepting her award and shared her acceptance speech in the caption.
“I am proud to accept this honor, but more importantly, I’m proud to stand with an organization that understands that investing in women isn’t just a ‘good thing to do.’ It’s the smartest play on the board,” Mahomes addressed the audience.
“We are here to build real equity and create spaces where women don’t just have a seat at the table, but own the building the table sits in,” she added.
The Entrepreneur Presses Onward Despite Her Painful Wrist Injury
When Brittany Mahomes isn’t working on her entrepreneurial endeavors, she’s a family woman. However, parenting three small children also comes with injuries from time to time.
On her Instagram stories, Mahomes revealed she was struggling with severe wrist pain. She had a rigorous workout plan mapped out for the day, but went to the doctor to ask about the ongoing wrist pain.
She received a diagnosis of De Quervain’s tenosynovitis, otherwise known as “Mother’s wrist.” According to the Mayo Clinic, the condition is “a painful condition that affects the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist.”
People struggling with the condition often feel severe pain when they make fists, grip an object, or turn the wrist. It’s common in people who frequently hold children, which is where the term “Mother’s wrist” comes into play.
Brittany Mahomes revealed she would wear a medical brace until her condition improved. She also previously suffered from a broken back. Despite the injuries, Mahomes still maintains an incredible active lifestyle.
Fans wish the best for the Mahomes family as Brittany continues healing.
