Episode Details

In this episode of The Post Up, I sit down with Faatimah, Founder & CEO of the Women’s Premier Basketball Association (WPBA), for an exclusive interview on how she’s creating new pathways for women to go pro—even when opportunities are limited.

There’s a real opportunity gap in women’s basketball. Not every talented player gets a shot at the WNBA or overseas leagues. That’s where the WPBA is stepping in—building a system that gives players another chance to compete, develop, and stay ready for the next level.

We break down:

• The opportunity gap in women’s basketball
• How the WPBA is creating pro pathways where none exist
• What it takes to build a professional basketball league
• The future of women’s hoops
• Advice for athletes chasing the pro dream

If you’re an athlete, a fan of women’s sports, or someone building something from the ground up, this conversation is for you.
