The documentary, hosted by AFDC: Project Diversity,details the stories of players who participated in the Color of Ultimate: ATL game.

The first ever Premier Ultimate League (PUL) championship is this weekend! For those who are unfamiliar, the PUL is an international non-profit organization that strives to achieve equity in the sport of ultimate through myriad ways, but one of them is to showcase elite women’s ultimate from across the world!

AFDC’s Project Diversity hosted an event-packed day of ultimate on Saturday, which culminated that night with an intense all-star showcase game that ended with Team Tuba winning in sudden-death overtime 20-19 over Team Simpson.
We had the honor of interviewing a few players participating in The Color of Ultimate: ATL all-star showcase game this weekend. They shared captivating stories on how they got their start in ultimate and the impact they hope the Color of Ultimate showcase will have on the community.
“It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength. We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of that tapestry are equal in value no matter their color.” – Maya Angelou
Events like The Color of Ultimate: ATL exist today to reinforce Maya Angelou’s point: we are strongest as a people when we celebrate each other’s differences.
