“Not only for two sisters to do it, but two women who are not ex-athletes that are firmly grounded as journalists. That doesn’t happen often.”

Caren and Mike Andrews stuck to a routine. Family dinner. Every night. Everyone at the table.

Sports were Malika and Kendra’s main source of entertainment as kids. A few hours of television a day meant an afternoon watching the 49ers or, maybe, Mike’s team, the Raiders.“If we wanted to stay up and watch cartoons, that wasn’t allowed,” Malika said. One night, Kendra, then 15, and Mike were watching a Warriors game. It wasn’t the players who stuck out, this time. But the announcers.“Uh, yeah,” Mike replied.“Good, honey,” Mike told his daughter, “you can do whatever you want.”

Now, the self-proclaimed planner is out of boxes to check on her career list. She hadn’t planned this far, assuming it’d take at least seven years. Rising broadcast superstars Malika and Kendra got their start at the dinner table of their Oakland home. Photo courtesy of the Andrews family.
