The athlete has also been making her own name in the Chicago sports scene. The rookie has had a record-breaking year, securing new firsts in double-doubles and rebounds on the court.
While the Sky did not make this year’s WNBA playoffs, the young WNBA star is taking advantage of the off-season by enjoying other sports. As both the Bears and the Ravens earned victories with the 22-year-old present, Reese may become a fan favorite to see at the games.
Moreover, the athlete is trying to emerge as a media personality as well. She currently hosts a new podcast, Unapologetically Angel. Most recently, Reese brought NBA legend Dwyane Wade to speak on his professional sports career and the rise of the WNBA.
Reese has brought out other sports stars, such as A’ja Wilson, to appear on her newest venture. While expanding her enterprises, Reese’s impact on sports and media continues to make new waves.
