WNBA star, radio host Chiney Ogwumike talks breaking gender barriers: 'Let's own the room'

Just a little over two months after the Los Angeles Lakers won the 2020 NBA Championship, basketball season is already back.

And for the first time in history, a Black woman has her own national sports radio show to talk about that, and more.

Chiney Ogwumike is the co-host of “Chiney & Golic, Jr.,” a daily ESPN radio show that launched in August. She’s still stunned that she has this powerful platform. In June, the WNBA player opted out of the season for medical reasons, but wasted no time in establishing her next act.
