Former AFLW player and visible advocate — on family, inclusion and authenticity in Australian sport.
Moana Hope is a former AFLW player, a public figure, and one of the most visible advocates for inclusion and authenticity in Australian sport. Her career has spanned elite football, television and a long-running personal campaign to broaden the conversation about family, identity and what acceptance actually looks like in practice.
Her speaking blends the realities of elite sport with the personal story that has shaped her public voice — caring for a sibling with a disability for decades, growing up in a large blended family, and navigating Australian sport as a queer woman with a public profile. She's warm, direct and refreshingly free of media-trained polish.
For event organisers, Moana is a strong fit for DE&I programs, wellbeing days, leadership initiatives, women's events and any audience where the brief is to combine a recognisable name with substantive content on inclusion and family. She works in-person and virtually.
Moana Hope is a keynote speaker based in Victoria who speaks on diversity & inclusion, inspiration and sport. Book through Executive Speakers Australia.
