ILIANA LIMON ROMERO- Week 6 Rewind

Iliana Limon Romero may be the ONLY Latina sports editor at a daily newspaper, but she's working to change that. As the sports content editor of the Orlando Sentinel, she oversees a department of eleven, in the epicenter of sports return. She prioritizes mentorship through her work with AWSM (Association for Women in Sports Media) and NAHJ (National Association of Hispanic Journalists). 

In this short-form recap of our episode 5 chat, Romero breaks down the pre-story conversation she has with the reporters she supervises. She shares the significance of being the ONLY Latina sports editor of a major, daily newspaper- a distinction she hopes comes with more awareness and change. Romero explains her approach to mentorship and making an impact. She talks about why representation matters in sports media. 

In the universal debate about politics, race & gender equity entering into the sports conversation, Romero schools listeners on the reality of what today's athletes & media members face- and why the 'stick to sports' mentality is no longer applicable.
