WNBA Star Angel Reese Announces Personal News on Friday

Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese is one of the WNBA’s biggest stars both on and off the court. The 23-year-old led the league in rebounds per game in each of the past two seasons, and she holds the record for the most double-doubles in a player’s first two campaigns (49).

Additionally, Reese is an influential presence in pop culture. The LSU Tigers alum has endorsements with many companies, including Reebok, Beats by Dre, PlayStation, Airbnb and others. She was also on the cover of Vogue magazine, has 5.1 million Instagram followers and hosts a podcast called “Unapologetically Angel.”

“Your favorite show is backkkkkk,” she said.

Reese uses the podcast to converse with athletes, entertainers and other cultural figures. Past guests have included recording artists Latto and Mariah the Scientist, NBA legends Dwyane Wade and Shaquille O’Neal and retired NFL star Cam Newton.  Reese made an announcement about the show on Friday via her social media.

Reese shared the news both on her personal page and podcast page. On the podcast page, she posted a promotional video imitating a text message conversation between two friends expressing excitement about the return of the show. The next episode will be on Thursday, and new ones will come every Thursday.  The most recent episode was on April 10, as the show took a break for Reese’s second WNBA season. However, this announcement marks a relaunch for the “Unapologetically Angel” brand.
