LET ME WAX MY BOWLING BALL

Women in Sports! Women in sports! Women in Sports! Anusha and Emma are back, and this time we’re talking about some sporty spice baaaaddies. 

Anusha has the floor first and reminds us just how cool Billie Jean King is. We talk her 39 grand slam titles, LGBTQIA+ advocacy, and work with Title IX. Emma’s next and she tells us the story of Mia Hamm and the 99ers (coming to theatres soon!!!) we talk women in football and why Bend it Like Beckham is a perfect movie that we’re both about to rewatch riiiiight now.
