Last year, the mother of two couldn’t attend the Super Bowl in Arizona because she was about to give birth. However, in February, she got to celebrate in person when the Chiefs won the title again.

Deon Bush’s wife Amina Smith got her dream job!

Amina Smith loves watching obscure NBA games, which her husband, Deon Bush, finds baffling. He often expresses his frustration, but Smith is dedicated to watching even the less popular games. This dedication helped her achieve her dream job as an ESPN anchor. Growing up in Brooklyn, Smith always viewed ESPN as the pinnacle of sports broadcasting. Her passion for sports began with her involvement in track and field, where she ran long-distance (3000 meter, 200 meter, 800 meter and a mile) events in high school and college.

However, after transferring to the University of Miami, she decided to focus on her studies instead of early morning training sessions. Smith pursued her degree and gained experience working for hundreds of jobs. She eventually secured a role as a reporter and substitute anchor at 6 News in Lawrence, KC, in 2014. Transitioning from a football-centric environment to a town known for college basketball was a significant adjustment for her. And those years came in help for the journalist, after 3 years, when she landed herself a host role for NBC Sports Boston, covering Celtics. And now, as she got her dream job, Smith feels thrilled and blessed.

Amina Smith is now among a few strong woman journalists in the world of male dominated sports.
