Interview: Dr. Courtney Cox on the Exhaustion of Black Women in Sport, Media and Academia
In this episode, Amira Rose Davis talks with Dr. Courtney Cox, Assistant Professor of Race and Sport in the Indigenous, Race, and Ethnic Studies Department at the University of Oregon, about the exhaustion of the last week -- and more -- for Black women in sports, in both the media and the academy. They discuss the interconnection between Olympic qualifying snubs of Black athletes across sports, the tenure rejection of journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones, disparaging comments made about Maria Taylor within ESPN and Naomi Osaka prioritizing her own mental health, among other events. They also talk about the ways that rest and Black spaces and kinship help them better breathe. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
