I've played overseas in several countries against and with many Olympians, and so it's important for us to understand that it's not just about home-growing basketball and sport for women, it's about doing it globally.

Especially for a chance for me to be able to hopefully do that with Team Nigeria would be huge. You know even considering the fact that there was only one African team represented in the Olympics and Africa is a big continent. So for us to be able to help develop the sport there, and use that to create more high-level international play, especially as we continue to see prominent Nigerian Americans doing well in sport, specifically women's basketball, I would love to be a part of growing that.

I know that's a mission of many conglomerates and so that's something that we shouldn't shy away from being aligned on. Why did it interest you and why was it something you wanted to be a part of?

NO: Michelob in general, they represent a lot of what is authentic to me, whether it's being a role model or just investing in women's sports. And being authentic to who you are in that investment. It's interesting, as I talk through Space Jam and as I talk through my hopes of becoming a member of Team Nigeria, you know, it's all represented in this campaign.

So for us to be able to put that into a campaign, and really buy into figuring out what it takes to not just increase visibility, but to sustain sport not just for professional women athletes, but for young aspirers that we see everyday is huge. It was a no-brainer for me to be a part of something like that, and I really hope that my involvement can boost that.

Because this is something that is not exclusive to women. We need everyone to be on board, and Michelob is doing just that. If you increase visibility, then you're able to have more sponsorships. I can say that I struggled with that even leaving college. I wasn't quite sure if being a professional women's basketball player was a way to make a living. So when you increase that visibility, you can increase those sponsorships and those partnerships.
