info_outlineSome people break in the face of adversity, while others stare adversity down, and figure out a way to win! Ros Gold-Onwude is the “gold” standard of the latter.
Ros, one of the few female national sports broadcasters and analysts, graduated from Stanford University with 2 national championships under her belt and was named the Pac 10 Co-Defensive Player of the Year in 2010, and ended career at Stanford as the all time leader in games played, along with 2 degrees from the esteemed institution.
At the time of her graduation from Stanford, it appeared that Ros was sitting on top of the world, only to have her broadcast dream delayed. Ros learned that her mother was now homeless, had been diagnosed with early onset Alzheimers, unable to care for herself and her sister was suffering from mental illness.
Suddenly Ros had to sink or swim. She had big dreams of broadcasting, but was faced with being the bread winner and supporting her family while trying to figure it all out.
And figure it out she did! Ros’ story is one of resilience, determination, hard work and never giving up. She took a job at Tesla, began making videos out of her apartment after hours, which led to various opportunities in broadcasting. Not all were paid, and not all were glamourous. Ros continued to hone her craft, followed her passion and eventually landed a job as a sideline reporter with the Golden State Warriors during their NBA Championship runs, winning an Emmy in that capacity.
Ros has continued to soar in the world of journalism, scoring a coveted role with Turner calling games for the NBA during regular and playoff season. Ros recently joined ESPN’s First Take holding her own with the hosts of the popular sports show. Never one to rest on her laurels, Ros is hosting her own sports debate show on Twitter in conjunction the Player’s Tribune called Don’t @ Me, which debuted to nearly 1 million viewers on Twitter. She does all this while giving back to girls in Africa, sprinkling that Ros fairy dust along the way.
Ros Gold-Onwude is the gold standard of Black Girl Magic, a word so overused but definitely befitting of Ros. Take a listen, and I’m sure you’ll agree with me.
