In this episode of the Advancing Women in Sport podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jordan Robinson, a remarkable freelance writer and host in the sports journalism world. Based in Los Angeles, Jordan's contributions have been featured in GQ and Essence, and she co-hosts the engaging podcast ""Queens of the Court"" with Sheryl Swoopes.
My conversation with Jordan explored her journey from a basketball-loving young woman to a prominent voice in sports journalism. Her dedication to highlighting the WNBA and women's sports stems from personal experiences and a deep understanding of the need for representation in sports media.
Jordan's path was challenging; she faced scepticism and pressure to conform to traditional sports narratives. Her determination to spotlight the WNBA and her focus on human stories within sports are inspiring. As a woman of colour, she emphasises the importance of sharing the often-overlooked stories of black women athletes.
We discussed the challenges and triumphs of being a trailblazer in sports media. Jordan's story is a testament to resilience, understanding your own worth, and the significance of a supportive network.
