There's just something about watching Caster Semenya in an advert. The athlete just oozes motivation, dedication, and the willingness to push boundaries.

I couldn't think of anyone better to portray roles such as this, especially with her story and being in the public eye for her gender debates with the IAAF. 

Semenya is back again for a new ad for Nike (they seem to be churning them out like hotcakes), titled 'Athlete in Progress'. 

In the ad, the star talks about loving and appreciating people for who they are, and for allowing people to be who they want to be.

The ad features Semenya in a natural running state, with children at her side.

The video could not have come at a better time with June being Pride Month. I am of the firm belief that equality should be for everyone. 

Semenya, yet again, is inspiring us all, and I can't seem to get enough of it.
