Award-winning sports journalist Jemele Hill’s love for all things sports dates back to childhood.

Hill, a guest on Monday’s edition of “Closer Look,” told program host Rose Scott that she was a tomboy and grew up playing and watching sports—and once she figured out in high school that she could transfer her passion for sports into a career, she pursued it wholeheartedly.  

“Sports journalism was my number one goal,” she explained.
