The ESPNW Summit contained exciting discussions about contemporary issues in women’s sports and for women in sports.
In the panel Women of ESPN, Monica McNutt, Elle Duncan, LaChina Robinson and Christine Williamson spoke about their journeys as Black women building careers in sports broadcasting.
They spoke about how they got into the business. McNutt, basketball game and studio analyst, Williamson, studio anchor, and Robinson, basketball host and analyst, were student-athletes. McNutt and Williamson knew they wanted to be in broadcasting. Robinson initially went into sports administration but changed her focus in her late-20s. Duncan spent nearly a decade working as a radio personality. After getting laid off, she became a traffic reporter and slowly worked her way into sports.
Williamson shaves her head and literally goes by TheBaldGirl on social media. Duncan praised Robinson for investing in the next generation of rising media stars by working with young talent. Robinson said as a Black woman the margin for error is small. She was not as resolute as McNutt and Williamson about her hair early in her career, but she appreciates the authenticity of the current generation.
