On this episode of "Into the Unknown" Join us for an illuminating conversation with Keisha J Kelley, the inspiring CEO and founder of Black College Experience, as we celebrate the achievements of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in athletics. We discuss our shared journey through the College Football Hall of Fame and delve into the legacies of legends like Eddie Robinson, Walter Payton, and Jerry Rice. Discover the passion behind telling the often-overlooked stories of athletes like Tarik Cohen from North Carolina A&T and how events like the Celebration Bowl are elevating Black College football to new heights.
From the hustle and bustle of game day operations with the Huntsville Flight to the world of sports radio, Keisha shares her own story of finding a voice in a male-dominated industry. Discover the challenges and triumphs of representing Black College sports, and how these experiences shaped her evolution from a behind-the-scenes role to a pivotal voice in sports media. The adaptability and growth required in live radio become a testament to the dynamic nature of the industry and the power of perseverance.
Explore the art of building networks in sports journalism and the relentless pursuit of opportunities, especially as a woman in the field. From covering peewee leagues to the HBCU Dream Bowl, Keisha highlight the significance of asking unique, personal questions to forge memorable connections. The journey doesn't stop there as we discuss the growth of the Black College Experience on social media.
