Black women athletes are not just changing the game—they’re redefining what strength, confidence, and leadership look like under pressure. Jamie Franklin-Lawrence and Myra unpack the deeper story behind women in sports, from the way Black women are scrutinized in tennis to the power of showing up authentically on and off the court.Jamie shares how sports shaped her from the fourth grade through college basketball, softball, track, and later boxing—and why she sees athletics as a place where grit, leadership, and mental toughness are built, not just talent. Myra brings her own perspective as a newer sports fan, opening up about Angel Reese, the US Open, Taylor Townsend, Naomi Osaka, and the way Black women athletes are judged for everything from their bodies to their self-presentation.In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why leadership in women’s sports deserves more attention
• How team dynamics teach selflessness, patience, and accountability
• Why Black women athletes are often policed for being too visible, too expressive, or too authentic
• What Naomi Osaka and Taylor Townsend reveal about pressure, identity, and self-possession
• How trying something new as an adult can become a serious confidence boost

The conversation also goes deeper into the personal meaning of sports—how Jamie’s boxing practice became a mental and spiritual discipline, and how Myra’s unexpected journey into racquetball and volleyball shaped the way she sees movement, sisterhood, and healing.This episode is for anyone who loves women’s sports, Black women’s stories, or the reminder that it is never too late to start over, try again, or step into a new version of yourself. If you need a push to stop waiting and start doing, this one will hit home.Why it works: It combines a strong cultural hook with personal stories and an empowering takeaway, helping listeners feel seen while giving them a reason to press play.
