Customer Reviews
Don’t play out the back!
Cannot get Don’t Play Out the Back out of my head. And I don’t really want to. But also, as a newer NWSL follower, learning so much from Skye and Sylvs. This pod has become a must listen for me!
10/10
They say what needs to be said more importantly they say what needs to be HEARD. Obsessed.
Everything we asked for!
I've been able to see the Shea Butter journey since the very beginning and Skye and Sylvs and the whole team been killing it from jump and creating the table for Black women in soccer to be celebrated! Thank you Shea Butter FC!
