National Girls and Women in Sports Day, Women's History Month, Black History Month, International Women's Day, Earth Day, you know: those "holidays." For lack of a better term, we call these days and months "social media holidays." After all, they carry heavy social media presences. And in the first ever episode of Cut to the Chase with Emma and Kamilah, we unpack them. We go beyond the mirror selfies and iPhone panoramas. We ask: What are the pros and cons of these holidays? How do they connect to sports? What do they represent for folks of marginalized identities? And where do they fall short?
