As Black women continue to soar in various fields, representation in sports is steadily on the rise. From Serena Williams to Simone Biles, Black women are breaking barriers and setting a new standard. During this year’s Super Bowl Sunday, ESSENCE held the inaugural Black Women In Sports Brunch in Inglewood. Presented by Coca-Cola® and hosted by Gia Peppers, the event honored sports journalists Cari Champion and Jemele Hill with additional remarks from ESSENCE CEO Caroline Wanga and Chairman of ESSENCE Ventures, Richelieu Dennis.
