Malika Andrews: The Young G.O.A.T

160 hotel keys, 160 days of traveling, 160 days of being away from her friends and family. Since the beginning of 2019 Malika Andrews has traveled for 160 days to cover the NBA for ESPN- the worldwide leader of sports. At the young age of 24 years old Andrews has managed to get a seat at the table; and not only is she sitting at that table but she is also contributing to the conversations in the sports world that have to be had. "As a woman it is important to differentiate yourself from being much more than a pretty face" Andrews said, "I wanted to be more than the pretty girl mediating between two men, I wanted to be an information man too". Prioritizing stories over herself and identifying herself as a writer first has set her apart. Although Andrews has her days where it's hard to get up and go, her "why" is the women. She says she hopes to make it easier for women to come after her.
