Happy Pride Month! Inside the history of what Pride means to WNBA players | WNBA Podcast
Manage episode 424832925 series 1770738
Host Jackie Powell is joined by ESPN’s Katie Barnes where the two discuss why Pride month means so much to the WNBA and its fans. The pair chats about the history of queerness in the W and why how much coverage the relationship of NaLyssa Smith and Dijonai Carrington is getting probably wouldn’t have happened five years ago. Later, while discussing how far we’ve come, Jackie and Katie look ahead to what’s next for more and better queer representation in the WNBA and why allies like Cameron Brink really matter.
