This week on The IT Factor Podcast, we sat down with Jaicee Christian — a dynamic storyteller at ESPN who has carved his own path from Alabama State University to the national sports stage.

Jaicee opened up about his early days at ASU, the emotions of starting college on his own, and the unforgettable moment he walked across the graduation stage. He shared how working at BET opened the door to sports media, and how mentorship and networking played a key role in landing his first job at ESPN.

He’s had the chance to travel and work at major events like the NFL Draft and the Final Four, where Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark went head-to-head. He also reflected on his experience interning with the Seattle Seahawks — an opportunity that came after attending the HBCU Legacy Bowl.

Now at ESPN, Jaicee is using his platform to tell powerful stories and bring attention to mental health in sports. His journey is a reminder that purpose, passion, and preparation truly do meet in the right moment.
