Charge it To The Game: with Jemele Hill


Listen Later

Jemele is an Emmy-winning sports journalist, who spent 12 years with ESPN. She’s a contributing writer for The Atlantic, host of the Spotify podcast, “Jemele Hill is Unbothered” and her memoir “Uphill” will be released on October 25th. Today she’s sharing:

  • Why she never wanted to write this memoir in the first place (and the lessons she hopes people learn from it) 
  • Why she really wanted to call her memoir something else. 
  • How her childhood traumas and Detroit shaped her and why grit is infused in her DNA. 
  • How reading the newspaper as a kid is what ultimately led her to where she is today.
  • Why women need to get over the “I’m just happy to be here” mentality.
  • Why she became a better journalist when she became a better businesswoman.
  • Why we need to all be more transparent about our salaries.
  • Why it’s so important to her to write about the intersection of race, class, gender and sports.
  • Why we can use sports as a mirror to what’s happening in America.
  • Why empathy is so important in writing.
