From the small town of Reidsville to the nation's capital, Jennifer King is making history as the first full-time Black female coach in the NFL, and she's encouraging other women to break those boundaries as well.
King, 36, has always had her eyes on the field whether it was keeping statistics for her high school team, playing in the Women's Football Alliance or watching the Carolina Panthers practice through the fence when she coached basketball at Johnson and Wales University.
"I think there were natural boundaries," King said. "I always talk about representation, so it was a boundary of not working in the NFL because I never seen anyone that looked like me working in the NFL. I think those were the only boundaries that society put on it. It wasn't me personally, it was just what I saw and didn't see. I think those were the boundaries but once I realized those were fake boundaries, I was willing to break through them."
