February is the special month in which we honor and celebrate African-Americans, past and present, for all their accomplishments in a variety of fields: music, television, film, fashion, business and so much more. Here at Glambergirlblog we want to do things a little bit different. Everyday throughout this month we will spotlight some of the glamberous African-Americans in the entertainment industry.

Since it IS Super Bowl Sunday I feel it’s only right that we spotlight a football legend: Michael Strahan.

Born on November 21, 1971 in Houston, Texas, Strahan spend all of his national football career playing with the New York Giants. During his time with the Giants he set the record for the most sacks in a single season in 2001. In his final season as a NFL player in 2007 his team won the Super Bowl.

Upon leaving the professional game of football, Strahan went on to serve as a media personality and sports analyst on such programs like Fox NFL Sunday. In 2012, after a nationwide search, Strahan was announced as Regis Philbin’s replacement on Live! With Kelly. Outside of all his media duties, Strahan has done philanthropy work for PETA and fundraisers to support youth at risk.
