Summary
To say that Jessica Robertson is passionate about women in sport would be an understatement. The co-founder and Chief Content Officer of TOGETHXR pivoted careers from music journalism to sports back in 2015 and hasn't looked back. Alongside Olympic Gold Medalists Alex Morgan, Chloe Kim, Sue Bird, and Simone Manuel, she's working to disrupt the inequitable pattern in sports and media, increasing female athlete coverage. Rooted in purpose, Jess explains her passion for storytelling — which started from a young age growing up in Kentucky. She also gets vulnerable about a time in her life where she didn't feel seen, and how she plans to work alongside her growing team to truly make a difference.
