Jamie Mittelman voice for women athletes
In this captivating episode of The Travel Wins, I sit down with Jamie Mittelman, the dynamic founder and host of Flame Bearers, fresh from her travels to Paris for the latest Olympic and Paralympic Games. As someone dedicated to bringing the unsung stories of resilient women Olympians and Paralympians to the forefront, Jamie’s time in Paris wasn’t just about witnessing incredible athletic feats—it was about furthering her mission to amplify the voices of women who inspire change through their perseverance and achievements on and off the world stage.
Jamie’s passion for storytelling runs deep. Flame Bearers is the world’s first storytelling platform specifically designed to illuminate the lives and struggles of women athletes whose journeys often remain in the shadows. With an impressive background, including a Master’s in Public Administration from Harvard and seven years of communications experience across corporate and nonprofit sectors, Jamie is uniquely equipped to drive her mission forward.
Through Flame Bearers, she has created more than just a media company—it’s a global movement where women Olympians and Paralympians share their personal stories through podcasts, video content, and live events. These stories provide an intimate look into the lives of these athletes beyond the games, revealing their trials, triumphs, and the challenges they face. Jamie’s recent trip to Paris further fueled her commitment to ensuring these voices reach the global audience they deserve.
As Jamie and I discuss in this episode, Flame Bearers is more than a media production company; it’s a global storytelling platform that sparks transformation. By bringing to light the resilience, strength, and courage of these unsung women athletes, Flame Bearers not only inspires individuals but also catalyzes change in communities around the world. Jamie’s work is a testament to the power of storytelling, and in this episode, she reveals how these stories of grit and determination can encourage all of us to take action and make meaningful connections.
