What's In Your Bag? Ep. 34 - Maya Reese

What's In Your Bag? With Andrew Robinson

Maya Reese, also known as "Overtime Maya" has contributed to helping Overtime Women's Basketball become the most followed women's sports platform across instagram and TikTok. We caught up with her to discuss her journey that has involved conversations with some of the faces of women's basketball, people such as Angel Reese, Breanna Stewart, and Paige Buckers.

We begin with her time at Howard University, that saw her complete internships with platforms such as complex, BET, NBC Sports, and ESPNU. We discuss the process that went into securing these opportunities, and how they affected her career going forward.

We couldn't miss out on an opportunity to highlight the fact that Maya became an Emmy Award winner at the age of 25, she discusses what winning the award at that age meant to her, and dropped some gems of inspiration for others trying to follow suit!

We capped off this conversation discussing the growth of Overtime, and how its affected the new age athlete in the era of social media. Are athletes more focused on going viral and getting posted on overtime rather than actually playing the game the right way? We have a candid conversation on athletes such as Mikey Williams, who have directly been impacted by the era of social media.
