Listen "Work in Progress: Malika Andrews"
Episode Synopsis
Let's take a moment to applaud Malika Andrews for breaking a glass ceiling in the sports industry! She's the first woman to ever host the NBA Draft, and also one of the youngest sideline reporters for an NBA conference finals telecast, plus the youngest to host the NBA Finals Trophy ceremony . . . and she's only just begun! The Emmy-winning journalist joins Sophia for a frank chat about her meteoric rise in a male-dominated field. She candidly discusses the impact of being the only Black girl in her class for most of her childhood, how her love of writing led her to sports journalism, and how she approaches maintaining a professional relationship with the players she covers, even during disagreements or uncomfortable moments. Malika also opens up about the struggle to maintain a healthy work-life balance, her 'quirky' hobbies, and her funny response to Sophia's most pressing question - can she watch basketball just for fun?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
