Angel Reese opens up about the impact of NIL deals in her life
During an interview with PEOPLE, the LSU star opened up about how the rise of her NIL value and the opportunity to sign rich NIL deals has impacted her life. Angel Reese said she is making an example of herself that women of color can also go on to enjoy massive success with hard work and dedication.
"It’s cool because, one, you really don’t see black women doing a lot of deals, especially with a lot of these brands — so, just to see me being an example for a lot of young girls that look like me, and just giving them a point just to know that they can do it.
"It's a blessing, honestly. I've kind of embraced it. People are watching me. I mean, it's a fast life I'm living. I think I have to mature quickly."
It will be interesting to see Reese's development and success once she starts her professional journey in the WNBA.
