In recent weeks, Rapinoe has been using social media to inspire change. Through #ShareTheMicNow, an Instagram campaign where Black women take over the accounts of influential white women, she collaborated with musician Fresco Steez to discuss design, culture and Black liberation with Rapinoe's followers.

"So, #ShareTheMicNow, basically, is just how—I mean, women's voices in general are not heard enough, particularly in the Black community," she explained to Colbert. "We push out women's voices all the time, so a moment like this comes and, you know, all these white women, we want to help but, like, we are very loud and our voices are very loud."

"And often times, whether it's mainstream media or whatever it is, we have more followers or whatever, so we actually need to listen to the women who are boots on the ground, in the movement, doing the work—who have been doing the work the whole time. Black women have always been at the forefront of change and progress," she continued. "And so, to not only give people a different perspective, but to actually hear from the women who are doing the work and the ones we should be following during this time."
