Karleigh Webb wears a lot of hats. This out transgender woman has
worked as a reporter, anchor, sportscaster and videographer, and for
nearly 20 years as a TV network producer. In addition to being a
dynamic, versatile journalist, she’s an activist and advocate for
intersectional justice across her work and in her life.
She’s now in her 30 th year as a journalist, currently working as a
writer/contributor for the LGBTQ sports site Outsports.com. She’s been
a part of the Outsports team since 2019 and applies her many skills to
build championship coverage of out athletes.
When she’s not in front of a microphone, web cam and keyboard,
Webb takes calls as a staff operator for Trans Lifeline, North America’s
only 24-hour crisis line that was started and staffed by transgender
people.
In addition, Webb is an avid triathlete, marathoner, and cyclist, equally
at home on a field playing softball or football. This past season she was
a part of Connecticut-based Reapers Women Football this past spring
as a running back/linebacker/defensive end and was named by her
peers as a Women’s Tackle Football League All-Star selection this past
season.
