Mike & Nick discuss the power of representation in sports & sports media. Joining us is Sr. Producer at Bleacher Report, Lakia Holmes. Lakia has worked in media for close to 20 years at various media outlets & leagues (from MLB to ESPN to NFL Network), and recently produced a piece for MSG Networks on the Black Girls Hockey Club, a group that wants to inspire and sustain passion for the sport of hockey, specifically in the Black community. From Lakia's own journey in media as a black woman, the advice she would give to the next generation of black females coming up in media, to all the work the BGHC is doing with the NHL to make hockey not only more inclusive for fans of the game, but more affordable to communities of color that want to play, join us for a conversation you won't want to miss!
