Emmy Award-winning journalist Jemele Hill is the co-founder of Lodge Freeway Media and a staff writer for The Atlantic.

Hill was previously the chief correspondent and senior columnist for The Undefeated, ESPN’s content initiative exploring the intersections of sports, race and culture. Prior to joining The Undefeated, Hill co-anchored SportsCenter for a year with her longtime friend and colleague Michael Smith. SC6 with Michael & Jemele debuted in February 2017 as a more personality driven approach to the traditional 6 p.m. SportsCenter. Focusing on sports, music, movies and more, SC6 was born from Hill and Smith’s popular His & Hers podcast and weekday television show, which debuted on ESPN2 in 2014.

In 2019, Hill launched her podcast, "Jemele Hill is Unbothered", which covers sports, politics and culture. New episodes air twice during the week on Spotify.

In 2020, Hill launched a twice-weekly podcast with Van Lathan on The Ringer called Way Down in the Hole, which recaps each episode of HBO's The Wire.

In August 2020, Hill began co-hosting "Cari & Jemele (Won't) Stick to Sports" with Cari Champion on the Vice on TV network.

A native of Detroit, Hill is a Michigan State Alum.
