WOMEN's BASKETBALL: ‘I’VE BEEN SPAT AT IN THE FACE FOR THE COLOUR OF MY SKIN’

Basketball scout Sarah Chan's career has taken her all over the world, from Sudan to Kenya, Europe and the US - but she's had to face war, racism and gender-based violence along the way. "I have been spat in the face for the colour of my skin," says the former professional basketball player. "I've experienced racism in more ways than I would like." Now the first woman to manage African scouting for a team in the NBA - the world's top professional basketball league - Ms Chan is inspiring a new generation of young people to seek out opportunity in the sport-Sudanese of nationality.
