Pepa Randall is a semi professional athlete. When she isn't taking to the field with GWS Giants, she can be found tending to the grounds at GIANTS Stadium as a Greenkeeper.
Pepa grew up in Melbourne and had what she describes a privileged childhood. Spending the first 18 yrs of life in a heteronormative environment, Pepa never considered herself gay. In fact she feels she may have at some stages been judgemental and homophobic herself.
Having played many different sports growing up, it wasn't until she joined a womens AFL team that she found herself amongst a group of people that she connected with and felt right at home. Being around women who identified as gay helped Pepa to come to terms with her own identity.
Pepa shares her story from childhood to playing in the AFLW with GWS Giants. Pepa is honest and transparent about the challenges that come with playing sport at this level.
Mental health and depression can affect any one of us and Pepa openly share show she got through a bout of depression and what she does to monitor and stay as mentally healthy as she can.
Pepa relocated to follow her dreams of playing in the AFLW and enjoys life in Sydney with her partner Pip.
