Angel Reese has been a rising star in the world of basketball, both for her on-court achievements and for her strong voice off the court. Since her time at LSU, where she led the team to an NCAA championship, Reese has not only impressed fans with her performance but has also become a vocal advocate for important issues.

Recently, she brought attention back to a message she shared months ago that continues to resonate deeply with her and her supporters-“protect young women in sports!!!”

Reese re-shared this tweet, originally posted in April, sparking curiosity about why she decided to resurface this particular message now.

Though she hasn’t directly addressed the latest drama involving internet personality Charleston White‘s offensive comments about her on the Jeff Teague podcast, her re-shared message seems to signal her continued commitment to advocating for the protection and empowerment of young women in sports.

Empowering the next generation

As a role model for many young girls, Reese has always been vocal about the importance of supporting women in sports and beyond. Earlier this year, she gave exclusive insight into how she navigates her role as a public figure, offering advice to young girls who are balancing their passion for sports with other pursuits.

“It’s okay to do both, and know that women don’t have to be put into a box where they have to do one specific thing,” she told People.

Her words reflect a broader message of empowerment-encouraging young girls to break free from the societal constraints that often limit their opportunities. Reese has spoken about how motivating the younger generation keeps her going, and it was this drive to inspire that led her to create the Angel C. Reese Foundation.

The foundation is dedicated to empowering girls and women through sports, education, financial literacy, and other important initiatives, aiming to level the playing field for those in communities that have been historically underserved.
