21 Talks with Niya Blair Hackworth, Director of Inclusion for the NCAA

“Always Remember That Striving and Struggle Precede Success, Even in The Dictionary."

- Sarah Ban Breathnach

On this segment of 21, we talk with Niya Blair Hackworth, Director of Inclusion for the National College Athletic Association (NCAA). The NCAA office of inclusion advances diversity, equity and inclusion in college athletics for over 1,100 member schools and athletic conferences. The office supports student-athletes and individuals who teach and lead across the core areas of disability, international, LGBTQ, race/ethnicity and women. In her role, Niya leads, partners and assists in Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) related initiatives, focusing on race and ethnicity and student-athletes with disabilities. Prior to joining the NCAA in 2019, Niya worked for Louisiana State University, Arkansas State University, and the University of Houston.

On 21, we like to highlight sports-related careers that may not involve being a professional athlete. Niya has established her a brand as a stalwart in the D&I professional circles with a specific focus on driving strategic initiatives at universities.

In this episode, Niya discusses the impact that COVID-19 and the recent racial tensions has had on NCAA sports. She also shares sage career advice for women (athletes or not) who are determined to make things happen in their career. And when asked about her playlist, Niya shares that she is rocking out with a R&B singer who is making a comeback.

Enjoy this episode of 21!
