I’ve been in New Orleans since 2021, and The 18th Ward helped me truly understand this community while working with the New Orleans Pelicans and New Orleans Saints. I saw the power of sport to bring people together and create opportunity.
I stepped away from professional sports to invest fully in the kids across our city. Basketball changed my life—and now I’m committed to showing our youth what’s possible through the game.
Your support helps us provide access, mentorship, and real pathways for young people to grow on and off the court.
