In this episode, we’re talking about Temi Fagbenle—the seasoned vet, Olympic baller, and newest powerhouse joining the Golden State Valkyries wearing jersey #14. From London roots to Harvard halls to WNBA locker rooms (most recently with the Indiana Fever and Caitlin Clark), Temi’s story is global, grounded, and so inspiring.

But this convo goes beyond her resume—we’re diving into her presence, poise, and the quiet strength she brings to the game. We chat about what it means to have a leader like Temi on this young squad, and why we’re already picturing her as the soul of the Valkyries. Graceful, gritty, and wildly underrated… we see you, Temi.

Come hang as we give this queen her flowers and bask in the beauty of experience meeting opportunity. Let’s gooo, Valkyries! 💜✌️🏀
