Episode 3: Giving a Voice to the Silenced with Imani McGee-Stafford Sad Jocks
-
- Salud mental
Imani McGee-Stafford is a WNBA player, abuse survivor, mental health advocate, and poet. Oh! And future LAWYER. What can’t she do?! Imani’s story is inspiring - she graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in accounting and became the first UT women’s basketball player to clock over 1000 points, 1000 rebounds and 200 blocks. But the biggest impact she left was off the court when she chose to speak out about her struggles with mental health and overcoming her abusive childhood. She now takes every opportunity - including this random podcast (JK, hopefully not random for long!) - to help those who have gone through similar struggles.
