Renowned sports commentator Joy Taylor celebrated the kickoff of season two of the docuseries "Like a Girl" at the women-owned Watch Me! Sports Bar in Long Beach.

The bar, which emphasizes showing women's spots, was the perfect setting for the event series, which is co-hosted by Taylor and MJ Acosta-Ruiz and highlights the journeys of female athletes and their impact on sports culture.

Reflecting on her career, Taylor says there have been significant changes in the industry since she began as an intern in 2007.
