ALEXA WHIPPO- Week 18 Rewind

If an early career stop in Twin Falls, Idaho as a news producer/reporter taught Alexa Whippo anything, it’s what her definition of success didn’t include. A subsequent move to Fox Sports Arizona helped her channel her passion behind-the-scenes as an on-air promotions producer and editor.

In this short-form rewind of our episode 17 conversation, Whippo talks about the unique challenge of being an Asian woman in sports media. She dismantles the false narrative that supporting other women poses a career threat. 

Through her own lived experiences, Whippo advocates for women supporting women and the importance of intention. She explains how asking for help is a strength and why even in 2020, women in prominent production roles continues to be a rarity.
