Sounders FC Pod-Cast With Brad and Zak

On this final installment of Behind the Shield, Brad Evans and Steve Zakuani sit down with Regence Community Hero Manny Morales and Sounders midfielder Cristian Roldan, and learn more about both of their experiences as first generation Americans now living in the Pacific Northwest. Manny was honored at the October 19th home match against Portland Timbers for his exceptional work as Co-Chair for the Home of Latinxs and Allies – or HOLA for short – Employee Resource Group, where he played a key role in establishing an Employee Resource Group mentorship program. In 2023, he won a Value and Ethics Award, one of the company’s highest honors, for his work promoting health equity, diversity and inclusion.
