Najiah Knight isn’t your average teenager.
The 17-year-old from Arlington, a small town in Oregon, is on a mission to become the first woman to compete at the top level of the Professional Bull Riders tour, Unleash the Beast. Knight, who is sponsored by Cooper Tires and Ariat, has lofty goals of winning a world championship after reaching the top tour.
Knight joined Business Beyond the Game to discuss the PBR’s trip to Madison Square Garden, increasing Native American representation in the sport and some early business lessons she’s learned.
