Leadership and Risk Taking with Michelle “Spinderella” Marciniak
Show Notes

To close out Season One, Dr. Sarah and LaVonna speak with 1996 NCAA champion Michelle Marciniak. Known as “Spinderella,” this former All-American translated a legendary career playing basketball for UT into one on the WNBA hardcourt and coaching sidelines before becoming an entrepreneur as co-CEO of SHEEX. From the boardroom to the basketball courts of Albania, where Marciniak met the female Afghan athletes who are soon-to-be the newest additions to the Lady Vols basketball family, this tour de force emphasizes the impact that visible role models and opportunities have, whether it’s for girls and women in the United States, Afghanistan, or elsewhere.
