Athlete Angel Reese is launching a new foundation dedicated to promoting women in sports and teaching them about financial literacy. The Louisiana State University basketball star is working to “foster equity for girls,” “develop practical solutions to overcome systemic challenges,” and “provide comprehensive resources” with her Angel C. Reese Foundation. Reese has earned millions in income from partnerships and brand deals after winning the 2023 NCAA national championship, and she wants to teach fellow women in sports how to manage their athletic career while also gaining financial knowledge for “the real world.” YPulse research shows that gender equality / sexism is amongst the top 10 social issues Gen Z and Millennials are most passionate about, so this new foundation coincides perfectly with these young gens’ views.
