In this powerful interview, we sit down with Jennifer King, a pioneering coach who made history as the first Black woman coach in the entire NFL (with roles at the Bears, Commanders, and Panthers). Now serving as an offensive analyst at North Carolina Central University, Jennifer shares her essential blueprint for success in one of the most male-dominated fields imaginable.

Jennifer pulls back the curtain on the dedication required, detailing the immense, unseen work that fills those 15-hour days and the crucial role her parents played in building her early confidence. Most importantly, Jennifer offers an essential playbook for women of color professionals who don't see themselves represented: She emphasizes the need for tough skin and the wisdom to know that "not every closed door is permanently locked. You just have to knock."

Tune in to also learn the critical role mentors and sponsors played in her groundbreaking journey.
