Urban Pitch Podcast - The Beautiful Game Of Life

Like many of us, Jessica Black wasn't quite sure what was in her future during the early stages of the pandemic. A creative mind by nature and a die-hard Arsenal fan, she did what came naturally — created a few social media accounts and started talking about the team she loved. Her passion for her team resonated with fellow Gunners and EPL fans, and her She Knows Arsenal channel has nearly 20,000 subscribers and over 2 million total views. She joined the Urban Pitch Podcast crew to discuss her origins in soccer media, being a woman in the industry and the chances of the current Arsenal squad to win a trophy this year.
