Beyond the Box Score: Storytelling for Sports and Social Change with Jordan Robinson

Jordan Robinson, journalist and podcast host takes us inside the intersection of sports storytelling and social justice. She shares her path from covering games to covering the deeper narratives about who gets to play, who gets heard, and how sports can be a vehicle for change.

Through her work, Jordan amplifies stories of women, nonbinary athletes, and athletes of Color whose journeys are often overlooked by mainstream media. We discuss the power of representation in sports media, the importance of creating your own platforms when doors are closed, and how sports journalism can be a tool for equity and empowerment.
