In this vibrant episode of Sportly, host Kavitha Davidson chats with Miriam Walker Khan, sprinter-turned-journalist, host of Real Talk (Sky Sports), and founder of Brown Girl Sport, a platform dedicated to celebrating South Asian women and girls in sports.

They talk about everything from winning sprint races in glittery platform sneakers to reporting on England’s controversial transgender football ban. Miriam opens up about how Bend It Like Beckham changed her life, why she got a javelin tattoo after reporting on the Olympics, and what it means to challenge lazy stereotypes like “South Asians don’t play football.”

Whether she’s hosting panels at Chelsea FC or covering hard-hitting issues like race, inclusion, and gender in sport, Miriam is reshaping what representation looks like, one story at a time.
