Black Gen Z Collegiate or Pro Athlete Interview - Essence Girls United

Hey LinkedIn! I’m currently working on a piece for Essence Girls United that explores the emotional and cultural impact of collegiate/pro sports, especially for Black Gen Z athletes. I'm looking to interview a Black former or current athlete (collegiate or professional) who’s open to reflecting on the pressure to succeed through sports, what happens when that dream shifts, and what advice they’d give to the next generation coming up. This story is time-sensitive, so if this sounds like you—or someone you know please shoot me a message or comment below. #BlackAthletes #GenZVoices #StudentAthlete #JournoRequest
