We’re back with another episode of TBGU and joined by another very special guest. Nia Symone is a powerhouse who knows all about pivoting with purpose. A former D1 athlete turned rising star in sports broadcasting, she is proof that your story doesn’t end when the game clock runs out, it evolves.

In this episode, Nia opens up about the identity shift that came with stepping away from competitive sports, how she built a new lane in media, and the importance of showing up as her full, authentic self in an industry that hasn’t always made space for voices like hers. We’re talking about self-discovery, representation, and redefining what it means to be a woman in sports. So whether you’re an athlete, a creative, or someone standing at the edge of your next chapter, this one’s for you.
