In this intimate and powerful episode of “Along the Way with Jayla,” host Jayla sits down with acclaimed NBA journalist Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson — a media veteran who started his career at just 12 years old and went on to make waves at CBS, BET, and across the sports world.
Together, they dive deep into the hidden realities behind fame and success, exploring how ambition, pressure, and expectations can take a toll on mental and physical health. Jayla recalls making history at the Apollo Theater as the first Latina to moderate a BMI educational panel, reflecting on how far she’s come since that milestone. Scoop B opens up about his own journey — from his early radio days to battling stress-related alopecia, the importance of setting boundaries, and learning to protect his peace while thriving in a competitive industry.
This episode pulls back the curtain on what it truly means to “make it.” Jayla and Scoop discuss the illusion of perfection on social media, the loneliness that can come with success, and why real connections matter more than ever in a world obsessed with image.
Their candid conversation reminds us that boundaries aren’t for others — they’re for ourselves. It’s a raw and honest dialogue about resilience, growth, and redefining what success truly looks like.
