Episode 114: A Time Was Had (2024 NWSL Championship Weekend Recap) ft Eboni Navidad and ThomBomb
Welcome to Episode 114 of Shea Butter FC, a podcast by, for and about Black women in soccer. In this episode, Skye and Sylvs welcome the famous Eboni Navidad (Walkin 90, DRSC FC, SixPoint Weekend, THEE Manager and Women’s Soccer Supporter Legend) and ThomBomb (Shade of Blue and our KC Current Shea Butter FC Team) to recap the 2024 NWSL Championship Weekend in Kansas City. The crew discusses overall impressions of Kansas City, and breaks down the experiences of the leagues’ Media Days, Press Conferences, and other league media events, and discusses the reality, the wild ride of the Skill Challenge, FanFest and the entire game day experience. Then they discuss and reflect on their content collaboration with the Black Women’s Player Collective during championship weekend, diving into the amazing experience at the “Elevate The Next” Soccer Clinic done in partnership with the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Kansas City, the vibes of BWPC Member Dinner, and the Cleats and Kickbacks: the Watch Party and After Party. Finally, they share in their collaborative trip with the BWPC and Athlete Ally to tour the Negro League Musuem, the Athelete Ally’s Braintust Activation, and Anessa’s collaboration with Google Pixel and her interviews with Megan Rapinoe and Gisele Thompson.
