YEAR IN REVIEW

Hey readers!

Firstly, thank you sincerely for riding with Black Rosie Media this year!

This May marked two years since our inception, and we’re so proud of what we’ve accomplished. Here’s a list of a few accomplishments:

• 📊10K+ VIEWS - Our podcast Gotta Get Up! received over 10,000 views in our second WNBA season. Hosts Brian Fleurantin and yours truly (Erica L. Ayala) were on hand to witness the New York Liberty win their first championship.

• 📊3K+ VIEWS - We reached over 3,000 views since launching our new WNBA show, Tempestade Talk, co-hosted by Roberta F. Rodrigues. Roberta and I worked hard and intentionally to bring nuance to our coverage of the Seattle Storm investigation into alleged bullying & harassment from the coaching staff.

• 🇫🇷PARIS OLYMPICS - Black Rosie Media was boots on the ground in Paris, France, where we covered the Women’s Basketball Tournament this summer, including meaningful conversations with Satou Sabally about the impact of prioritization on International players.

Thanks to Brian, Roberta, Angelica Rodriguez, and Misha Jones, who’ve been invaluable as I continue building my vision for BRM.

As we reflect on the first month of our weekly newsletter, we want to thank YOU! The growth we’ve experienced isn’t possible without your willingness to subscribe, share, and engage with our podcasts and stories.

We look forward to even more storytelling next year, starting in Seattle with the PWHL Takeover Tour and heading to South Beach for the inaugural Unrivaled season.

Cheers to more growth in 2025!

Erica L. Ayala, Head Black Rosie in Charge (HBIC)
