W.H.A.T. Pod Ep. 4 Nila Madison: Puttin' in the work with Nila Madison of The Relish

While Kendyl is out, Tara is joined by Nila Madison (formerly known as Jusuf Nurkic’s GF on Twitter) to talk about how sports and being a fan can create community and opportunity.
Nila is a Portland Trail Blazer fan living in the Bay Area, a grad school student, a Twitter troll and a contributor to The Relish, a female-centric sports platform where she was featured on the first episode of The Relish: Style Uniform. She embraces all these identities with gusto, seizes every chance to share her enthusiasm, and is a thoroughly enjoyable person.
