11m · How You Lead Matters · 02 Mar 03:19

In this special episode, we're handing over the mic to the voices of tomorrow or maybe a couple of tomorrows—middle schoolers! As Black History Month comes to a "close", we're celebrating the achievements of Black athletes who have left an indelible mark on sports history. Join us as we journey through the hallways of a middle school, capturing the excitement, admiration, and genuine love for these iconic figures.

From Michael Jordan's billion-dollar empire to Allen Iverson's legendary moments on the court, we delve into the impact of these athletes on a new generation. We'll reminisce about the electrifying performances of Simone Biles and the fearless fashion statements of Serena Williams, exploring the significance of their contributions both on and off the field.

But it's not just about the accolades and achievements—it's about the stories behind the athletes, the personal connections that resonate with students and fans alike. From sneaker obsessions to video game showdowns, each anecdote offers a glimpse into the enduring legacy of these sports icons.

So tune in as we celebrate the past, present, and future of Black excellence in sports. It's time to pass the torch and amplify the voices of tomorrow, as we honor the trailblazers who continue to inspire us all.
