I guide the Sports & Society Program, the mission of which is to convene leaders, foster dialogue, and inspire solutions that help sport serve the public interest. The program offers a venue where thought leadership and breakthrough strategies can be developed on a range of opportunities, from building healthy communities through sports to rethinking the model for college athlete pay.We serve as an honest broker of ideas, sourced from the thousands of leaders, organizations and athletes who have engaged with our work. We produce events, reports and research that shape important conversations and help mobilize stakeholders for action, in the U.S. and other countries. Our signature initiatives is Project Play, one of the most prominent initiatives at the Aspen Institute and the winner of 37 international awards for social good, marketing and advertising.My work in developing strategies to improve the design and delivery of sports for youth in America has been featured in HBO Real Sports and other major media outlets. I also have continued to write and report on occasion, with my pieces appearing in the New York Times, Newsweek and the BBC.

I also served as senior writer at ESPN The Magazine and ESPN.com, where I was the first reporter to create cross-platform packages with television.My television, magazine, online, documentary and radio work earned two Emmys for sports journalism and more than a dozen other national awards, including an Edward R. Murrow Award and top honors from Sigma Delta Chi/Society of Professional, the National Association of Black Journalists, and Asian American Journalists Association. In 2014, my reporting on youth football issues earned the Columbia University-Alfred I. duPont Award -- ESPN's first.My 2008 book, "Game On: The All-American Race to Make Champions of Our Children," published by ESPN, became required reading at universities across the country.
