Episode 11: Basketball Legend, Sue Wicks Sundays at Café Tabac - The Podcast

    • Personal Journals

In this episode, we are so thrilled to welcome Hall of Fame basketball legend and New Yorker, Sue Wicks. 
Her distinguished career is defined by records set and numerous accolades, MVP, all-star game and gold medal honors.  She played forward in the WNBA for our very own hometown team, the New York Liberty since its inaugural season and was awarded the 2001 Kim Perrot Sportsmanship Award and was consistently voted fan favorite. You will soon understand why. 
Whether on or off the court, her characteristic humility and empathy makes it no surprise that she was, and still is a natural leader and a role model, especially for women, girls and LGBTQ people. Notably, Sue is the rare pioneer who paved the way for professional athletes to be out during their career. 
Even now in her role as owner of Violet Cove Oyster Company here in Long Island, she is making her mark as an oyster farmer and environmental activist for New York's waterways.
