Summary
LaChina Robinson went through a quarter-life crisis, as she puts it, that changed everything for her. A former college basketball player, the now-Atlanta-based journalist wasn't exactly sure what laid ahead in her professional cards come her mid 20's. And so, she asked a lot of questions and sought out feedback, which ultimately lead her down a path of persuing her passions as a WNBA analyst. For episode 256, LaChina talks about her experience with depression, offers up her advice for anyone navigating an unexpected pivot, and shares what it's like to be recognized for her efforts as a Black sports broadcaster. Plus: Her biggest takeaways from decades of networking and the advice she'd offer her younger self knowing what she knows now.
