DOMONIQUE A. WHITEHURST
AIR IT OUT
As Content Producer, Domonique directed and edited the first and only female-hosted YouTube show for HBCU Gameday. Each week "Air It Out" discussed the current "hot topics" within HBCU sports and African-American culture.
Corey Staples and Domonique Whitehurst are currently working with HBCU Gameday as a part of their Sport Management Masters’ program at Florida A&M University. Corey and Domonique will interview guest and discuss the hottest topics in HBCU sports and culture.
Domonique Whitehurst, Co-Host of Air It Out, says that though this is unfamiliar territory for her, she is excited for what’s to come, “compared to what I’m used from being behind the scenes, this is definitely something out of my comfort zone but I’m excited to see what Corey and I have in store for our audiences.”
The “H” in HBCU stands for “historical” but it lowkey can stand for “homecomings.” This week on Air It Out, we discuss the tragic news homecomings being cancelled due to COVID-19, Netflix donating a heavy lump sum to both Spelman and Morehouse University, and we take a moment to shine a light on the heavy racial insensitivity many black athletes receive while attending predominantly white institutions and how tough it is to try to express concern at the backlash that the athletes receive from taking a stand.
This week on “Air It Out” the ladies talk with former gymnast Robyn Magee. Magee is the HBCU Representative for the Collegiate Gymnastics Growth Initiative (CGGI). Gymnastics could sever as a platform to increase the amount of black and brown gymnast that attend HBCUs. Just picture it, the Marching 100 or even the Mighty-Marching Panthers providing background music for a floor routine; do you know how lit that would be?!

​“HBCUs need to be pulled up from the dirt because that’s where they are right now.” Yes, you read that correctly. Dwayne “The Flash” Wade said this and the ladies of “Air It Out” express their reactions.
