Hello, I am Milexa Cardona,  a twenty-four year-old bilingual former student-athlete from Florida. I am passionate about athlete advocacy as well as advocating for marginalized communities. I am a proud HBCU graduate from Howard University where my longtime love for sports met my passion for storytelling and led me to pursue a career in sports journalism and coaching. I am currently earning my masters degree from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism because I believe that it is important to share the correct information with our surrounding communities in order to shed light on the stories that go beyond just the sport and to learn the athletes beyond their jersey number.
