Alpha Kappa Alpha Mu Upsilon - Cornell University

Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated® would like to celebrate our Sister Maria Taylor, as she made history at Super Bowl LX!

On February 8, 2026, she became the FIRST Black woman to host a Super Bowl pregame show and the first Black woman to present the Vince Lombardi Trophy, a powerful moment of excellence on one of the world’s biggest stages.

Maria anchored NBC’s five-hour pregame coverage with poise and presence, then took the field to present the championship trophy to the Seattle Seahawks, continuing a legacy of women making history in sports media.

As we recognize Black History Month, we honor Sister Maria’s continued impact and trailblazing career, from the Super Bowl stage to Milan for NBC’s 2026 Winter Olympics coverage, and into her next chapter leading NBA and WNBA coverage with NBC Sports.

Sister Maria was initiated into Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.,® Eta Xi Chapter, at the University of Georgia, in Fall 2007.🩷💚
