Here's "Her"

Ben introduced me to the ESPN Podcast, "His & Her."  It's a lively recap of the news in sports and so much more.  The hosts provide smart, funny, enlightening commentary on the everything under the sun, including sports, of course.

This article is about Jemele Hill, the female voice in the booth, and her journey to the land of broadcasting.

A sample:

Raised humbly in crime-ridden Detroit at a time when poverty was protocol, jobs were leaving town and drugs were rampant, Hill's love for sports and the encouragement of her mom shielded her from turmoil and sharpened her focus as she worked her way up the sports TV ranks by being deeply knowledgeable, thoroughly experienced and undeniably original. Not yet 40, Hill enjoys a well-earned celebrity status at ESPN as one of the most recognizable faces and unique personalities working for the sports media empire.
