Ep 16: The Politics of Creating Your Own Lane


Listen Later

On this week's opening filibuster, Jemele shares the inspiring story of Rose Robinson, who is believed to be the first Black athlete to protest against racial injustice by kneeling during the national anthem. Jemele is joined by social media influencer Josiah Johnson, who also is host and executive producer of Gil’s Arena, the digital basketball show that stars former NBA player Gilbert Arenas. Josiah shares how he built his influential social media brand, and gives advice to other influencers and content creators seeking to follow in his footsteps. Josiah reveals what it was like being the son of L.A. hoops legend, Marques Johnson, who also is known for his comedic role in White Men Can’t Jump. Josiah also addresses some hot NBA topics, including Jimmy Butler’s beef with the Miami Heat and NBA commissioner Adam Silver floating the idea of 10-minute quarters. Finally, Jemele addresses a fan who asks what other content she’d like to see for women in the sports media space.
