In 2025, the WNBA, elevated by figures like Lisa Leslie, stands as a major cultural force, with players such as Caitlin Clark becoming household names. Leslie, a pioneering athlete, became the first WNBA player to dunk and secured numerous accolades, including two championships and four Olympic gold medals. Even post-retirement, she remains active in sports and business. Recently, she joined forces with Intuit QuickBooks to celebrate Small Business Hero Day, providing support and funding to small businesses, emphasizing their importance in local communities. Her family background as business owners shapes her commitment to uplifting entrepreneurs.
“As part of a lineage of business owners, Leslie understands the vital role small businesses play in their communities. When she was young, her mom quit her job to start her own trucking business in order to support the family.”
“Leslie’s resume speaks for itself. Aside from being the first WNBA player to dunk in a game, she won two WNBA championships, four Olympic gold medals and three MVPs.”
