I’m Helen Bohórquez, founder of Rise & Rep.

After years building a small grassroots soccer community in New York, I saw how much of women’s sports culture lives outside stadiums, in local leagues, watch parties, pickup games, and small gatherings where people come together because they love the game.

Rise & Rep is for the people building women’s sports culture before the spotlight arrives. The first supporters. The local coaches. The community organizers.The new fans.

I created Rise & Rep so I could tell their stories. People from all backgrounds pushing women’s sports forward in their own way. Every single day.

We also happen to design and curate some really cool merch.

If you're reading this, thanks for finding us! We're a woman-led, latina immigrant business based in Queens, New York. The ancestral homeland of the Lenape people.

We're here to make women's sports impossible to ignore.
