  DHS responds to detention of Aminata Seck, Volleyball legend Haley Eckerman speaks about Team Dream, new OWN documentary

  Sep 29, 202633 min

  In this episode, Randall covers the latest developments across the HBCU community, including a significant update on Kentucky State basketball player Aminata Seck's ongoing ICE detention and hospitalization, Michael Jordan and the Jordan Brand's $1 million investment in the new Morehouse Multimedia Center, and North Carolina A&T's historic first-ever win over a ranked FCS opponent with their upset victory over Rhode Island. He also shares his thoughts on Netflix's A Different World sequel series and teases a full review coming soon. Randall then sits down with former Texas volleyball star Haley Eckerman, the architect behind Team Dream — the 12-woman, all-Black roster that went 7-0 and won the 2018 USA Volleyball Open National Championship. Together, they discuss the inception of the team, the challenges of assembling and competing with just one practice, the gritty comeback in the semifinals, and the now-iconic "Swag Surfin'" celebration that followed their championship win. Eckerman also opens up about the barriers to access in volleyball for Black athletes, how the Team Dream experience shapes her coaching at Kent State, and why the new OWN documentary "We Belong Here: The Story of Team Dream" — directed by North Carolina Central alumna Bianca Barnes Williams — is about far more than just sports.
