In this episode, we’re stepping off the court and into the culture – to discuss all the ways in which the WNBA, and women’s basketball in general, impact our society at large. We’re talking: what’s the purpose of rivalries? Do they exist in the W? Is Caitlin vs Angel even real? And we’re also talking style, fashion, and brands – downloading on the Met Gala, those iconic A’ja Wilson A’One ads, and the W references popping up all over TV. Then, Zena chats with stylist and fashion designer, Brittany Hampton, who shares the inside story on crafting Paige Bueckers’ looks for the recent WNBA Draft, as well as her takes on the fits from the Met Gala and the unique fire of WNBA Tunnel Style.
