A’ja Wilson on How the WNBA Will Continue to 'Break the Glass Ceiling' Over Us

Transcript

00:00 Now tell me about what have you learned through your experience in the WNBA and how have you

00:06 grown as you've sort of grown into your career? Yeah, I think every single season I feel like I'm

00:12 planting seeds for not just for myself and the team, but for the next generation to be able to

00:15 not go through the things that we went through the year before and continue to just invest in

00:19 myself and my team is something huge. But also having fun while doing it. I think we have a lot

00:22 of eyes on us obviously now. So now it's time to kind of be like, no, this is the reason why you're

00:26 watching us. And every single year I try to be better in that. How do you address the pay inequity

00:32 that has been reported on? It's obviously a hard topic to talk about because it's not just playing

00:37 basketball. It's more about the economy and everything that goes into it. But at this point,

00:40 we're going to continue to hope that people continue to invest in us. We have a lot of eyes

00:44 on us. A lot of people are trying to pay attention. So now it's kind of like put your money where your

00:47 mouth is and invest in us and show that you want to be a part of the change. And that's where we

00:51 can continue to break this glass ceiling that's over us. Who are you most excited to see tonight?

00:55 Oh, Fantasia, Taraji P. Henson. I'm excited. Those two have to be my top right now.

01:02 Have you had a chance to interact with them yet? I have not. I have not. And I think that's

01:06 probably a good thing because I would faint, but I'm okay.
