What is Athena's Might?

In Greek Mythology, the goddess Athena embodied intelligence, warfare, and practicality. Held in high esteem. Ancient Greeks back in the day sought her for guidance, as her wisdom knew no bounds. Whether fighting beside them in Homer’s Iliad, or providing insight for the wife of an Athenian soldier. Beloved by all, she represents the mental fortitude and the might of strategy. Yet what if her insight is beyond the tales of old?

Inspired by her mythos, avid weightlifter Pauline Allera aims to encourage young women to take up strength training by discussing physical, emotional, and mental health issues in womanhood. Join her on a weekly basis as she reflects on her own journey, interviews women from all walks of life, and members from UNCC’s female weightlifting team, the Lady Lifters, in conversing the positive impacts weight lifting has on women.
