Summary

Chamique Holdsclaw is a WNBA Hall of Famer, 6 time All-Star, Olympic Gold Medalist, and still remains the all-time leading scorer in the University of Tennessee record books (for both men’s and women’s basketball… talk about goat status!) Not only is Chamique’s impact felt on the court, but her tremendous advocacy for mental health and bi-polar disorder has been covered by ESPN, The Washington Post, and USA Today. In this raw episode, Chamique opens up about her tumultuous childhood, losing the closest person in her life, and navigating life with mental illness.
