Episode 49: Kobe and Women’s Bball, Racism Roundtable, and Ayesha McGowan’s Historic Cycling Quest

This week, Amira Rose Davis, Lindsay Gibbs, Shireen Ahmed, and Jessica Luther discuss Kobe Bryant’s relationship to women’s basketball, and what this means given his history with women and that the sport can use all the champions it can get. Then we go around the circle and each address a different story of racism in sport from the last couple weeks. And Shireen interviews Ayesha McGowan, who is working hard to become the first female African-American pro cyclist. As always, you’ll hear the Burn Pile, Bad Ass Women of the Week, and what’s good in our worlds.
