EP 84: "Changing The Game" featuring Coach Lovey Roundtree Oliff

Lovey is a politician, educator as well as a producer/storyteller. After graduating from Bowdoin College and teaching for a few years, she attended Harvard University and earned her masters degree in Education. While raising her children in Exeter, NH, she became more politically active and was elected to sit on the SAU 16 Budget Advisory committee. Additionally, Lovey coaches Girls Squash and Tennis at Phillips Exeter Academy while continuing to play and compete in adult leagues. Her passion for the arts, education, health and wellness and enhancement of power for underserved populations keeps her very busy. In March of 2020, Lovey was elected as the first African American woman to the Exeter Select Board. The five member Select Board serves as the governing body for the town and each member serves a staggered 3 year term. In addition to serving on the Exeter Select Board, Lovey manages, produces, and hosts her own podcast series called The PodCaste System. Lovey and her guests tackle the inequalities faced by Blacks, Browns, the unseen, and underserved. She  dissects current affairs, politics, pop culture, and everything in between laced with a heavy touch of comedy and sarcasm. Lovey is also an active alumni member with both Choate Rosemary Hall and Prep 9. Her extensive expertise at producing events keeps her in contact with educators, patrons and other alumni.
