About Angel Reese
Angel Reese, NCAA Champion and the newest member of the WNBA's Chicago Sky, is one of basketball's brightest superstars already making a significant impact both on and off the court. Since joining the league, Reese has already set the WNBA record for the most consecutive double-double games and become a WNBA All-Star. While her on-court stats are impressive, her off-court endeavors have transcended the sport. Reese left college as one of the most marketable stars in the NCAA's new NIL era and has since become a cultural force, leading the next generation and growing women's basketball. Beyond her achievements in business and on the court, Reese is a fierce advocate for gender equality in sports, challenging the double standards women face. In 2023 she founded the Angel C. Reese Foundation, dedicated to empowering girls and women through sports, education, financial literacy, and more.
