Fans tap in with Eva Wilson mother of A'ja Wilson

Bonus content straight from the fans with WNBA legend Ticha Penicheiro.

We welcome our second WNBA mom, Joyce Canada, mom of Jordin Canada who was selected 5th overall by the Seattle Storm in the 2018 draft. Jordin’s talent first became apparent when she was in elementary school, playing pick up in the school yard and running circles around the boys she was playing with. At 8 years old she won her first National Championship and a star was born.  With so much raw talent, many schools came calling early on and Joyce talks about how they negotiated her journey from high school to college and eventually turning pro.  

Growing up, Sue Bird was Jordin’s idol and Joyce shares what it was like when Jordin was drafted by the Storm and found herself playing side by side with Sue, the way the team embraced her and what it was like for Joyce to see her daughter playing with the best. We hear about Jordin’s overseas experience, her social activism, her two WNBA championships, what it means to be a Jordan Athlete and what makes WNBA basketball so exciting to watch.

Four years after the passage of Title IX, Ginny Gilder and the rest of the Yale Women's Rowing Team staged a "Strip In" to fight sexism in sports. More than 40 years later, not enough has changed. Ginny continues to tackle gender inequality as a co-owner of the WNBA’s Seattle Storm, while using her investment platform to promote racial justice and give back to the community. What drives her to keep up the fight?

Calling in from Turkey we welcome Jordin Canada, WNBA point guard with the Seattle Storm

Selected by the Storm 5th overall in the 2018 WNBA draft she won the championship in her rookie year, one of two championship teams she’s been a part of.

She talks about being in the bubble and the connection for her between playing basketball and the BLM movement. A strong social justice advocate, Jordin gives us her insights on how to keep the movement going, to use her voice and the platform she’s been given to ensure change happens, including the impact of  her new Jordan shoe deal.  

Jordin talks about the experience of playing with Sue Bird, the inspiration she gets from her teammates, the power of the orange hoodie, meeting Kobe Bryant, how she feels about the legacy she’d like to leave behind and if a singing career is in her future!

Dan Hughes wished he could be in Bradenton, fighting for a championship with his Storm. Instead, he’s at his home in Ohio. He accepts the decision that kept him out of the Wubble...but that doesn’t mean he’s not helping his team be as prepared as possible for their Semi against Minnesota.
