Welcome to the Ed Milo Show, the place for leaders, dreams and champions.

Welcome back to Max out everybody, I'm Ed Milo, I am super pumped about today's interview

because I have a very unique and special woman sitting here with me today.

This lady, by the way she's funny too, she's much better than me good, but this lady is

the president and chief operating officer of the WNBA's LA Sparks and her name is Christine

Simmons so thank you for being here.

Thank you for having me, this is exciting.

It's already been good off-key.

I know, I know.

So obviously you're an executive of one of the biggest sports franchises in the world,

that's a pretty unbelievable achievement you've had in your life and we're going to

get to that part but I want to go back a little bit.

So because I want people to have the background, I started the show and I want to feature prominent

people that are maxing out obviously different areas of their life and in your case obviously

all of your cheemers are impressive but also those of you that aren't watching this

for listening to the audio, you're an African American woman too.

Yes, yes.

And that brings with it a set of dynamics that I want to discuss today too.

I love that, yeah.

And so let's go back a little bit because you've always been an African American woman

for a girl so that part's been permanent.

But if we go back, you grew up, are you the first person graduate college in Finland?
