As time marches on, doesn't it sound ludicrous that equality is still so far out of reach? Of course, BUT thanks to our much needed allies and advocates, progress is on the horizon. In this episode, we run the gamut of topics including a huge update on the fight to pass the ERA (Equal Rights Amendment), women who are infiltrating male dominated sports and making U.S. history, ways we can help women advance in sports, the impressive statement made by the U.S. men's soccer union in solidarity with their female counterparts, and one of the most talked about female sports advocates, Kobe Bryant. We also discuss whether or not it's fair for journalists to bring up the skeletons in Kobe's closet in the wake of his death as well as the visceral reactions Black Mamba fans had to Gayle King's interview with Lisa Leslie. Plus, our Fave Wave is making the support of equality smell as good as it should! #ladywave
