Shaping the next generation of female leaders
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Known for hosting Final Fours and legendary auto races, Indianapolis continues to solidify its status as a national sports hub.
But as the city gears up for a packed 2025 calendar, including the WNBA All-Star Game, leaders say the sports scene is doing more than drawing crowds. It’s also paving new paths for young women.
WISH-TV contributor and former NFL player Emil Ekiyor joined News 8 at 5 p.m. Wednesday for a conversation, speaking about an initiative aimed at empowering the next generation of female leaders through sports.
Ekiyor said the timing aligns perfectly with broader national conversations about women’s sports and representation in leadership roles.
