The ever-evolving Jemele Hill is at an exciting point in her career. With 21 years in the game as a journalist, sports reporter, and activist (in her own right), she has learned to be unbothered and unapologetic. And she proves that each time she speaks or publishes her truth as a staff writer for The Atlantic.
Hill stopped by BLACK ENTERPRISE to give us an inside scoop on her new Spotify podcast, Jemele Hill Is Unbothered. During the hour sit-down, she talks all things career moves, securing the bag, and how to take a just stance no matter your industry or career level.
Hill’s partnership with Spotify is timely as the company seeks to amplify the voice of black women through podcasting initiatives.
“From a value alignment standpoint, that’s something I stand for–boosting the voices of young women of color—it’s something they stand for,” said Hill. “And I’m happy to be a part of a brand where we are very like-minded.”
Another exciting chapter on the horizon for Hill is marriage. During the interview she touched on living life by design and not by default.
“I’m very even-keeled but I need people in my life who can give me not just the balance and support and all of those other things. But can make sure that my spirit is taken care of. I found that, and I’m very lucky and fortunate to have found that in my fiancé! I’m looking forward to marriage and the things that come with it.”
For those who are looking to shake things up be it in their everyday life or career, Hill said you can be risky and strategic at the same time.
That is exactly what she did as she transitioned from ESPN to pursue her next chapter professionally. And for anyone who thinks a closed door or a ‘no’ is missed opportunity, she challenges you to change your perspective.
“Don’t focus on the opportunities you didn’t get. The only reason I say that is because a lot of times there’s a reason you didn’t get it. And by that I mean it’s not because of something that you didn’t do, but there’s something else around the corner.”
It’s fair to say having that mindset is one of the ways she stays unbothered. Jemele Hill Is Unbothered launches on Spotify on Apr 15.

We’ve put together this list of cute baby clothes for boys, but we think babies can wear whatever garments you want them to. Boys can wear pink and girls can wear blue. However, we know some of you prefer traditional gender roles (especially if you’re shopping for a gift) so this one is for you. We’ve featured all kinds of funny, nerdy, and adorable rompers and we update it regularly.
Unfortunately, if you have a young baby, then odds are you’re feeding it in the wee hours of the night. However, isn’t it always after midnight? I’ve never been able to solve this riddle from the movie Gremlins. When should you feed Gizmo?
Not only does Harry Potter live, but he’s also carrying around part of Voldemort’s soul. Luckily, for your little one you’re still alive and kickin’. You’re not going to let any evil wizard lay a finger on your butterball. Check out our whole collections of Harry Potter inspired onesies.
Your child might have to face the day when robots replace them in the workplace. Yup, we’re headed for a robotic uprising of catastrophic proportions. The real question is, what’s going to happen when the robots from outer space try to take our new worker robots’ jobs. Consider a donation to Make Our Robotic Overlords Great Again 2040. This onesie comes in long/short sleeve and multiple colors.
As a lover of dungeon crawlers and fantasy, I think this is one of the cutest onesies of all time. He’s slower than normal, but your little one is going to get that treasure. If you like Dungeon Crawlers, then check out 4 Against The Darkness. A pencil and paper solo game to play when you just need to escape for a few minutes.
Firefly Browncoat Costume Onesie
Mal’s uniform from Firefly is almost as iconic as Han Solo’s. Of course they are, afterall similar characters. This is perfect for those of you that dream of your baby becoming a space pirate.
English, motherf*cker, do you speak it ? That’s a great line from Samuel Jackson’s character in Pulp Fiction. Personally, I feel like a hypocrite just writing this description. I know you’re judging me, but this romper is perfect for all you grammar cops. The “I’m Silently Judging Your Grammar” romper should be found in every English teacher’s nursery closet, especially those of who know how important it is for babies to grow up with a copy Chicago Manual of Style in their bookcase.
I loved building robots as a kid. Using wooden blocks, LEGOS, or even cardboard boxes. Encouraging your child to use their imagination is one of the greatest gifts you can give to them. For now, you’ll just have to pretend to be the robot and fly them all over your castle.
Demogorgon Stranger Things Onesie
Raise your hand if you are a fan of Netflix’s Stranger Things. It seems like just about everyone has watched at least the first season of the show. Unfortunately, your little one can act like a demogorgon sometimes. On those days, dress him in this.
For you DnD lovers out there, check out this romper featuring a Beholder and a variety of some very colorful dice. Your little one will one day be rolling those critical 20s just you wait.
Some people will tell you rock n’ roll is long dead. We know that’s simply not true since rock n’ roll is immortal. Your child is going to grow up listening to all the great music you’ve experienced over the years. Sure, they might not like every band or song, but with enough time they’ll come to appreciate the foundation of what good music sounds like.
My childhood involved playing NES and SNES with my dad and friends. I remember one Christmas morning Santa got me a SNES and hooked it up. I woke up to the Super Mario World title screen and theme playing on our television in the living room. My dad and I played it for a few hours and it’s one of my best memories growing up. Build those memories with your kid.
Science classes are awesome, especially if you have teachers that do more labs and hands on activities than lectures. Your little one will hopefully love learning about science as much as you do. Maybe you two can be partners and create experiments together as a family.
Check out this 5-pack of costume onesies featuring your favorite superheroes. Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, and Spiderman. You can pretend your baby is fighting crime while screaming in the middle of the night. Check out our whole article on Marvel baby clothes.
If Marvel isn’t your thing, then how about Superman? Sure, your child doesn’t have x-ray vision and they can’t fly around the room, but no one says they aren’t your little superhero. Looking for other DC inspired rompers? Check out all our DC baby clothes!
They might be too young for LEGOs, but your little one will soon be building imaginary worlds on their bedroom floor using the same basic blocks you used as a kid. Pretty sweet, right?
Meoarrrrghhh!!! Ahoy, Matey. Tis be the best seacat to sail the seven seas. Rumor has it his leg was bitten off by a nasty shark. Even lost an eye during a tremendous squall that snuck up on his ship. Tis the perfect romper for yer lad to wear.
Like father like son, right? Well, maybe not that so much that they are exact clones. Still you can’t break the bond between a parent and their little padawan. Poor Boba Fett, you have to feel really sorry for what happened to his daddy. Looking for more rompers from another galaxy? Check out all our Star Wars baby clothes.
You’ve had a baby and now you’re trying to figure out how to raise this new addition to your family. Raising a kid is most likely going to be the hardest thing you’ve ever done. Rest assured, one thing is for sure, you’re going to introduce them to all things nerdy. This romper lets the world know you’re dedicated to teaching your kid everything geek-culture related.
I’m not a geneticist, but I do know that Mitochondria keep me going throughout the day. They are little nuclear reactors that give your cells energy. Just remember that when you little one is bouncing off the wall and you just want an hour of sleep. Thanks mitochondria!
Where The Wild Things Are Onesie
Where The Wild Things Are is one of the best books you can read to your child. Not too mention it’s an awesome film as well. I’m going to assume your child is already king of all things, not just the wild things.
If there’s one thing you need to start doing with your little one, it’s reading to them. We need to promote reading as much as possible at the earliest age. Babies love colorful books. Seriously, if you make a habit of reading every day to your child, then your child will excel in so many areas. Trust this wise old owl.
Have you ever seen a baby milk drunk? There eyes kind of roll around and they get that 100-yard stare. It’s super cute, sort of like Rick when he drinks too much. Wubba Lubba Dub Dub!
They’ve been exploring outer space for over 60 years. With countless discoveries under their belt, the folks over at NASA are made up of some of the smartest people in the US. You’re little one might not grow up to be a scientist, but that doesn’t mean you won’t teach them to appreciate those who dedicate their lives to revealing the mysteries of the Universe.
Einstein probably enjoyed a good cookie with a glass of milk. I don’t know if he would have suggested you get energy from plowing through a whole bag of Oreos though. While your little one is too young to enjoy this famous snack, there’s nothing wrong with with dressing him up in this romper for now.
We’ve all sat around conjecturing on what happened to the dinosaurs. Giant meteors, volcanoes, disease, or maybe mass abductions by aliens offer a few ideas on what happened to these giant reptiles. I know the idea of aliens seems far fetched, but just look at what happens to cows all the time. Aliens, man!
Good Guys Chucky Costume Onesie
This seemingly innocent looking romper is from the Child’s Play movies. Worn by the infamous Chucky who terrorizes every child that gets too close. For those of you who love the classic horror film and want to creep out other parents.
Who doesn’t like the original Ghostbusters? Did you ever watch the cartoon, The Real Ghostbusters? It featured the guys from the hit movie, plus Slimer as their loyal pet. Your baby is kind of like the green ball of ooze with all the drool they’ve got going on.
Jaws is one of the best American movies of all-time. It has struck fear in beachgoers since it first debuted in the 1970’s. This skateboarder featured on this romper is attempting one of the deadliest tricks in the history of mankind. That courage is exactly what you hope to inspire in your child.
I’ve been waiting all my life for teleportation to be a thing. I have a bad feeling that it’s never going to happen. That’s okay, at least we still have Star Trek episodes to keep us dreaming of the future. Here’s some good news, we feature a ton of Star Trek baby clothes.
Old Macdonald Had A Cow Onesie
I told you those cow abductions were real and this romper proves it. This is a good twist on the classic childhood song. Hey, at least the cow on this onesie doesn’t get served as steak.
Ludo is the friend and companion that every child wishes they have. He’s compassionate and very strong. Sure, he’s not the brightest star of the bunch, but his loyalty is unwavering.
If you’re a fan of Godzilla, then we think this is one of the best rompers on the market. I’m a little bias because I love Tom Waits’ song with the same name. Once your baby starts walking, you can set up some blocks and pretend they are a giant monster walking through a city. Go go Babyzilla!

“You came back soft, Scott. The world has no place for soft anymore.”
Cyclops, arguably no more than any of the other marquee X-Men, suffers from a cluttered family tree stretching both to the past and the future. Following the “retirement” of his son Cable by a younger version of himself, and the disappearance of Jean Grey (“Disassembled” story arc) and Rachel Summers (“Extermination” mini-series), Mr. Summers finds himself and brother Alex as their last family bonds. Still, in this current arc, where mutants are hated and hunted more than ever, even blood ties mean nothing in times of war. When the previous issue ended, a literal glimpse of Hope (Summers!) in league with the Mutant Liberation Front presented another complication for the survival of “the last X-Men.”
Uncanny X-Men #15 begins just where the previous issue left off – an awkward standoff in the doorway of Harry’s Hideaway between two of the most influential men in the 616. A list of people you don’t want knocking on your door uninvited include the police, To Catch a Predator’s Chris Hansen, and Captain America. Unfortunately for the current lineup up of X-men, when Cap’n Steve Rogers himself shows up at their current base of operations, he is not collecting donations for the VFW. After their previous incidents attacking O.N.E. (Our National Emergency) facilities and the capture of Dark Beast, Cap shows up to offer Scott two pieces of advice – 1.) Don’t trust Val Cooper, and 2) Let him help. He even goes on to warn Cyclops and his scavenger hunt lineup of mutants that if they are going to continue to do what they are doing, then at least do it in secrecy and to find a better place than the basement of a dive bar to keep their prisoners. While the issue starts with a long, tense showdown of will and words, as the the pages play out, two shocking acts of violence come out of nowhere to remind us all – yes, everything is at stake and no one is safe.
The X-Men just don’t know when to stay away from political rallies. Either someone ends up dead and the mutants take the blame, or mutants die and humans rejoice. After chasing down D-List MLF member Reaper in the previous issue, Multiple Man receives word via a text on their captive’s phone, that the group will stage an attack at another political rally. When the X-Men finally confront the MLF head on, Cyclops finds his grand-daughter Hope and one-time X-Man Banshee setting up a shot to assassinate the senator at the rally. Raised by Cable and now abandoned by the same man after his death, Hope feels nothing for Cyclops and saves a bullet especially for him. The bullet barely misses its mark but leaves enough damage for Scott to literally earn his codename. If you ever doubted the friendship of Wolverine and Cyclops, let Logan’s revenge on Hope be all the answers you need. #BrutalPanelsAlert
Writer-penciler team Rosenberg and Larocca continue their unique, near pitch perfect collaboration of rebuilding the X-Men through breaking them apart and destroying them even further. Although Cyclops means well in his hopes to make one last stand for mutantdom, his foresight may leave something to be desired. Although allowing Dark Beast to live amongst them as a privileged P.O.W. proves to be fortunate as he heals Mirage and Karma of their technorganic infections, his enthusiasm to become a real member of the team is betrayed by the fact that he is still a demented techno-eugenicist. Time will tell how Cyclops’ intentions to rid the world of the X-Men’s greatest threats will actually play out and if his entire team lives to see those plans to fruition. If this issue was any indication though, he may want to consider changing his costume to something a bit more bullet proof.
