Our October episode takes a look at athletes who are making their voices heard on and off the court. After the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor during the summer of 2020, many athletes have decided to use their platforms as tools for social change. (4:10) We first speak with three time NBA Champion for the Warriors, Andre Igoudala. Igoudala talks about following in the path of other athletes like Muhammad Ali and Jim Brown, who used their platforms to fight for equality. He also talks about his memoir The Sixth Man where he details his life growing up in Illinois, joining the Warriors, and the changing role of the athlete in our society. (21:41) We then speak with WNBA stars, Natasha Cloud of the Washington Mystics and Chiney Ogwumike from the Los Angeles Sparks. Both of these women are not only fierce on the court but are driven by their passion to create real social change in their communities.
