She Got Game® Founder Tandaleya Wilder Celebrates More Than 20 Years of Women’s Sports Coverage MIAMI, FL — Long before women’s sports commanded the attention, investment and media coverage it receives today, award-winning journalist Tandaleya Wilder was creating a platform dedicated to telling the stories of women athletes. Wilder launched She Got Game®: A Celebration of Women in Sports in 2001 as a pioneering women’s sports radio program focused on reporting, interviews and commentary about women athletes and the issues shaping women’s sports. The program grew from its public radio roots and was heard nationally, helping establish Wilder as a distinctive voice in women’s sports journalism at a time when dedicated coverage of female athletes remained limited. Over the years, She Got Game® featured interviews and conversations with athletes and sports figures including Serena and Venus Williams, Billie Jean King, Mary Lou Retton, Mia Hamm, Dorothy Hamill and others. Wilder’s work in journalism extends well beyond She Got Game®. An award-winning public radio journalist and longtime NPR contributor, she has reported and provided sports analysis for national programs and newscasts and has covered major sporting events, including the U.S. Open Tennis Championships. Her career has also included leadership in journalism and media training. Wilder previously served as News Director for WLRN/Miami Herald Radio and helped co-found NPR’s Next Generation Radio training and mentoring program. Her work has earned recognition including a Gracie Award, induction into the Temple University Communications Hall of Fame, and honors from organizations recognizing her contributions to journalism, communications and women’s sports. She Got Game® Today More than two decades after its launch, She Got Game® continues as an independent women’s sports media platform, featuring sports news, commentary and the She Got Game Sports Minute. The platform covers the athletes, leagues, milestones and issues shaping women’s sports while continuing the mission Wilder established more than 20 years ago: providing consistent, credible coverage of women athletes. She Got Game® sports content can be found at: SheGotGame.com A Separate PR and Media Strategy Agency Wilder later established She Got Game Media, a Miami-based public relations, media strategy and brand storytelling agency. While the two share a founder and history, She Got Game® and She Got Game Media operate separately. She Got Game® is Wilder’s independent women’s sports media platform. She Got Game Media is a public relations agency providing PR, media strategy, brand storytelling, media relations and visibility campaigns for entrepreneurs, businesses, public figures and organizations. More information about the PR agency is available at: https://www.shegotgamemedia.com For Wilder, the connection between the two reflects the breadth of a career that has included journalism, broadcasting, media production, public relations and strategic communications. The foundation, however, began with a simple belief that remains central to She Got Game® today: women’s sports stories deserve to be reported, discussed and heard.

WBL Legend Susan Summons On a night dedicated to honoring the past while celebrating the future of women’s basketball, Susan Summons stepped onto the court at an Unrivaled game for a special on-court appearance that carried deep meaning. Summons, the longtime head women’s basketball coach at Miami Dade College and a WBL Pro Legend, was recognized in front of a packed arena filled with fans, players, and pioneers of the game. The moment served as a powerful reminder that today’s growth in women’s basketball is built on decades of leadership, mentorship, and perseverance. The appearance was made possible by Legends of the Ball Inc., a nonprofit dedicated to preserving and uplifting the history of women’s basketball by honoring the trailblazers who helped shape the sport. “Susan Summons joined us as a special guest of Legends of the Ball, Inc. at our collaborative event with Unrivaled honoring the history of the Women’s Basketball League and the African American women who played in it. As a WBL trailblazer and Hall of Fame coach, Susan represents the lasting impact of that era — both on the court and in the coaching ranks. It was a powerful and emotional celebration of our shared history.”— Liz McQuitter, Founder, Legends of the Ball, Inc. Former Women’s Professional Basketball League Players Adrian Mitchell-Newell, Retha Swindell, Susan Summons, Liz Galloway McQuitter, Charlene McWhorter-Jackson, Molly Bolin For Summons, the recognition represented far more than a ceremonial walk onto the court. It was a reflection of a career spent building opportunity for young women and ensuring that the game’s pioneers are never forgotten. “Being honored in this way, surrounded by so many people who love and respect the game, was incredibly meaningful. Moments like this remind you that the work, the commitment, and the belief in women’s basketball truly matter — not just for today, but for generations to come.” Throughout the night, Legends of the Ball Inc. members were visible across the arena, united in a shared message: everyone loves history — and women’s basketball history deserves to be seen, celebrated, and preserved. As Unrivaled continues pushing the women’s game forward with innovation and visibility, moments like this ensure the foundation remains strong. Honoring leaders like Susan Summons doesn’t just celebrate the past — it reinforces the future. 🎙  Listen to the She Got Game Sports Minute Tandaleya Wilder spotlights Susan Summons’ Unrivaled appearance — facilitated by Legends of the Ball — and why honoring the architects of women’s basketball matters in today’s spotlight era. ▶️ Tap play below for the full 60-second audio report. -end-

Two free public readings of selected excerpts are scheduled for October in Miami-Dade and Broward counties.
