We gotta talk about women in sports. So many female athletes in the US can't even be professional athletes full time, get ripped apart by the media, and outright harassed by fans when they do something they don't like.
In this episode we talk about..The Williams sisters and growing up seeing Black women become household names in tennis. How media portray both female broadcasters and athletes. And growing up as women who love to watch professional sports and are expected to be experts just because we are not men.
