Description
In this episode we are joined by Emalee Nelson, PhD student at the University of Hawaii, to discuss her dissertation on the Cuban Women who played baseball in the All-American Girls Baseball League - which was fictionalized in the popular 1992 sports comedy movie, A League of Their Own. This conversation leads to socio-economics, gender equality, racism and the American dream for Women in Sports. We also dive into the #WeKeepPlaying panel, WNBA 2020 Draft, NBA HORSE and much more.Emalee Nelson Latest ProjectsEmalee on Social: Instagram | TwitterExtra Credit reading recommendations: Shultz, Jaime.
