The fourth installment of our Chi State Pod Black History Month Series features Chicago State alum Taneka Mackey.
Mackey has served as an LPGA Tour caddie since 2017, working with golfer Amy Olson. Today, she is the only Black woman caddie on tour.
After becoming full-time with Olson, Mackey faced a health scare which led to a multiple sclerosis diagnosis. She has since battled back and now remains symptom-free.
On the podcast, Mackey and Olson reflect on their powerful bond, Mackey’s health journey and her inspiring outlook. Mackey's story was also recently featured in a gripping ESPN piece.
Chi State Pod is hosted and produced by Sam Brief. Music is courtesy of David Brief and Channel J. You can subscribe on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
