“Cricket isn’t just a game in India—it’s a full-on obsession, and I’ve caught the bug! Recently, I got to bat alongside @IndianBlindCricketTeam at Bengaluru’s Chinnaswamy Stadium, and let me tell you, I could feel what this sport means to India. Now, as this amazing team gears up to tour the United States, it feels like we’re hitting a boundary in #USIndia#SportsDiplomacy . Best of luck to #TeamIndia in the @ICC@T20WorldCup final match tonight. Bring that cup home!” — U.S. Ambassador Eric Garcetti #PlayWithUS#SportsBuildBridges

🌈✈️ Meet @pilotadamharry , India’s trailblazing transgender pilot, whose journey embodies resilience and triumph over adversity. From overcoming early hardships to challenging societal norms, Adam’s path to the skies is nothing short of inspirational.
Born into a lower-middle-class family, Adam faced several obstacles from a young age. Yet, fueled by a dream to soar above limitations, he persisted. Despite ridicule and discrimination, Adam discovered his true identity as a trans man in his teenage years, finding strength in the transgender community.
His journey to become a pilot was fraught with financial struggles and familial rejection. Undeterred, Adam worked tirelessly, balancing odd jobs with rigorous flight training. His determination paid off as he earned his pilot’s license at a remarkably young age, defying odds and stereotypes.
Adam’s story is not just about personal triumph; it’s a testament to the power of perseverance and advocacy. He challenged discriminatory policies and advocated for inclusivity in aviation, paving the way for greater acceptance and opportunities for the LGBTQ+ community.
Today, Adam continues to break barriers and accumulate flight hours towards achieving his Commercial Pilot License. His journey inspires us all to dream big, defy expectations, and fight for equality. Adam Harry’s courage and resilience shine brightly during #PrideMonth and beyond, reminding us that with unwavering determination, the sky’s the limit. #OutandProud
