Cameron Brink, the rookie forward for the Los Angeles Sparks, has been speaking candidly about her experiences as a professional athlete and the role of mentorship and representation in her life

Brink has also emphasized the importance of being recognized for her achievements, rather than being sexualized as a female athlete.

“It was such a cool and surreal moment to be one of the top names, especially to be pictured with these three other amazing women in Misty Copeland, Alit Truwit, and Sophia Wilson, who are all so established and great in their sport,” Brink said.

“The campaign came out beautifully, and it was such a full-circle moment for me. I went to Stanford, where Sophia went. I did [a Sports Illustrated photoshoot] with Ali a while ago, and I was able to meet Misty. I just have so much respect and admiration for all three of them. It was an incredible experience.”

Sharing her story

Brink also spoke about her collaboration with Aveeno and TOGETHXR, stressing how the partnership reflects the support she has received from influential women in her life.

“It was so important for me to share my story with Aveeno and TOGETHXR because I’ve been using Aveeno product forever, as well as a supporter and follower of TOGETHXR since its inception,” she said.

“When I think back to all the strong female role models in my life, including my mom, my godmother, and all of the female coaches I’ve had – this partnership pays homage to how all these strong women have brought me up. Hopefully, through this campaign, I can pay that knowledge and wisdom forward.”

Her story reinforces the message that public attention should be directed toward performance and leadership rather than appearance, challenging the pervasive sexualization of women in sports.

As she continues her rookie season with the Los Angeles Sparks, Brink‘s example shows how young athletes can balance visibility with meaningful advocacy, using their platform to highlight mentorship, hard work, and respect within the sporting community.

Fearne Cotton has broken her silence on split from husband Jesse Wood in her first TV interview since the breakup.

Joining Lorraine Kelly on Monday’s episode of the ITV show, the TV presenter, 43, also gave an health update after having two tumours removed from jaw.

Fearne announced her split from Jesse, the son of Rolling Stones bass guitarist Ronnie Wood, in December after 10 years of marriage.

She has since made swipes at Jesse and moved on with TV director Elliot Hegarty, with the pair having been seen kissing during a recent night out.

Fearne has had a difficult few months after undergoing surgery to remove two benign tumours from her jawline, just days before her split with Jesse emerged.

She told host Lorraine: ‘It’s all very amicable and kids are doing great. I am in a very good place.’place.’

Discussing her recent surgery, she added: ‘I feel very grateful to have completely recovered.

‘I feel really good. I have a lot of people reaching out who have had the same thing.’

Davina McCall, 56, announced in November she’d been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour, and has supported Fearne.

She continued: ‘Everyone needs a Davina. She’s been amazing, weird that we had the same health thing going on at the same time. She’s so calming and we speak every day. She is just the best

It comes after Fearne has seemingly made another thinly-veiled dig at her ex-husband as she gushed that she is the happiest she’s ever been in a positive update.

Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, Fearne gushed that she is ‘really happy’ and is ‘springing out of bed in the morning ready for life’.

Scott, who has known Fearne for 25 years, said he has never seen her ‘more positive or happier’, prompting Fearne to agree and reply: ‘Yeah I feel great!’

She told how her health scare has changed her outlook and said she has been seeking comfort from Davina.
