What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

Azyiah love the fact that she made so many brothers thats on the team by her being the only girl they welcomed her with open arms


Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

Azyiah is inspired by her stepfather who also happens to be her coach. Coach casim as she calls him on the field has been training Azyiah to be the best football player she can be.


What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

What made me the proudest of Azyiah is she never gives up. So many people tell her this is a boy/man sports and she proves them wrong at every game or practice. I love that my daughter is willing to try to be the first female to make it to the NBA. No matter how many times people tell her this sport is not for females she keep going.
