Interview with Dr. Amira Rose Davis on Burn It All Down Podcast

Written By courtney m. cox

I had the amazing opportunity to chat with Dr. Amira Rose Davis (who I adore) on one of my favorite sports podcasts Burn It All Down. We talked about Kaepernick’s workout, as well as the social media and mainstream media reaction. We also had a chance to talk about the role of women (athletes, academics, intellectuals) in sport, whether their voicing their opinions on air or traveling to play the sport they love. You can check out the interview here.
