Emily Bett Rickards Instagram – Tomorrow, Queen of the Ring—the story of Mildred Burke, wrestling’s first female champion—comes to life on the big screen for the opening night of the Florida Film Festival. 🎥
Mildred’s story is as powerful and relevant as ever. She wasn’t just a champion in the ring; she was a fierce advocate for equality in a world that constantly told her “no.”
What Mildred fought for—challenging limits and redefining what a woman could achieve—paved the way for the women of today. Her fight is far from over. We honor her legacy every time a woman steps into the ring, onto a stage, or into any arena where she’s told her rights don’t matter.
Her strength and resilience continue to inspire me, and I hope her story does the same for you. Where there are people like Mildred, there will always be hope.
Sending love and strength from both Mildred and myself.
If you’re in Florida, I’ll see you at the premiere on Friday! ❤️ | Posted on 07/Nov/2024 23:50:39
