FINESSE MITCHELL - Tell Your Story on Stage

It's the Holiday season, so it's the perfect time for an encouraging story. Finesse Mitchell joins us today to share his story from growing up in Atlanta to his life now in Los Angeles. He speaks openly about his trials and errors, his upward failures and what he loves outside of show business. It is refreshing to hear from celebrities who know who they are outside of what they do or rather what category in which we know them.  Although Mitchell is not shy about his achievements and goals within the industry, there is so much more to what defines his happiness and identity.  Connect: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/carichampion/">@CariChampion </a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/finessemitchell/">@FinesseMitchell</a> Learn More;  <a href="http://www.finessemitchell.tv/">FinesseMitchell.tv</a>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.

Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese caused a media frenzy after their infamous “you can’t see me” exchange in the 2023 NCAA championship game. There was a fierce debate over their perceived rivalry and it only intensified once they became the hottest prospects in the WNBA's rookie class. 
The media’s fixation on their so-called rivalry has been fueled by the same gender and racial bias that has haunted women’s sports for generations. And now that Clark and Reese have brought thousands of new fans to the sport, is it safe to say that this storyline is what the WNBA needed?  Or has it invited toxicity into a space that has always prided itself on its inclusivity and sisterhood?
In this groundbreaking series, Cari Champion searches for answers from those who know Clark and Reese best – from the coaches who helped shape their game, to the players and journalists who have witnessed their meteoric rise first-hand. Champion traces the incredible parallel paths of not just these two historic talents but the WNBA itself, and sets the stage for the collision course that has brought us to this very moment. The Making of a Rivalry: Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese is not just about two of the brightest flames the sport has ever seen, but it also asks an essential question – in a time of such divisiveness, is it possible to let greatness unite us?
