Jenny Nguyen Of The Sports Bra, The Countrys First Sports Bar Dedicated To Womens Sports
Hosted by Kerry Diamond\nProduced by Catherine Baker and Jenna Sadhu\nEdited by Jenna Sadhu\nMusic by Tralala, \u201cAll Fired Up\u201d\n\nJenny Nguyen is the founder and owner of The Sports Bra, the country\u2019s first sports bar dedicated exclusively to women\u2019s sports. Jenny, a chef by training, didn\u2019t realize what a stir she would create with The Sports Bra. She was looking to open a place that would show women\u2019s sports on all of its televisions; have better food than the average sports bar; and be welcoming to non-binary, queer, and trans individuals. Little did she know, she was opening a feminist landmark. \n\nJenny joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about the origin story of The Sports Bra; Jenny\u2019s early years as a high school and college basketball player whose career was cut short; the weight of her immigrant parents\u2019 expectations; and the amazing reaction to The Sports Bra from female athletes and sports enthusiasts around the world. \n\nThank you to Whole Foods Market for supporting today\u2019s show.
