Head-Royce School is proud to present the 19th installment of the Nia Speaker of Color Series, benefiting the Nia Endowed Scholarship. This year we are thrilled to welcome Oakland native, ESPN journalist, and alumna Kendra Andrews ’15. Kendra covers the Golden State Warriors basketball team year-round and is a regular presenter on ESPN’s NBA Today and SportsCenter.
She will share how her love of journalism began and was developed at Head-Royce, how she landed her dream career, and how she overcame early challenges with learning differences and dyslexia during her K-12 journey. She will also speak about being a Black woman working in sports journalism for one of the largest television and streaming networks in the business, and how she experienced success so early on in a crowded, male-dominated field.
