Women had to fight their way to be a part of the sports world, from the first female Olympians competing in 1900—over 1,500 years after the first Olympic Games—to the establishment of the WNBA in 1997, 51 years after the NBA began. Despite these breakthroughs, women are still underrepresented and undercovered by the media. Yet, more athletes are breaking barriers, gaining attention, and inspiring fans every day.

We’re revolutionizing women’s sports media through captivating storytelling. In a landscape where 85% of coverage is dedicated to men and the remaining 15% often highlights a narrow segment of women athletes, we broaden the lens to highlight diverse voices.
Why? Because we’re here to inspire the next generation of athletes and fans through podcasts, videos, and live events.
