EP05 Abby Albino: Sports Marketing for the Raptors, Storytelling with Nike Sportswear, and Co-Founding Rise Tribe

Abby Albino ( @abbyalbino ) is a Toronto-based sports marketing and communications professional who has managed to have some pretty incredible career moments for someone who grew up loving sports and sneakers. From overseeing PR for Toronto's biggest sports teams like the Raptors and the Maple Leafs, to now Account Manager for Nike Sportswear, Abby shares with us the struggles of being taken seriously as the only person of colour and woman in the room, let alone someone who knows sports. We missed Mal on this one but we talk about the realities Filipinx youth in Canada face, which ultimately led Abby to co-founding Rise Tribe. Rise is a non-profit organization focused on powering the next generation of Filipino Canadian leaders through community events and mentorship. We also get into the story behind the big spoon and fork, how bagged milk is not a universal Canadian thing, and the sneakers you can find on a typical Toronto mans.
