Strong Is Beautiful

She is engaging, fashionable, and undeniably charismatic—beauty in every sense of the word. But step onto a basketball court, and a switch flips. The smile stays. But the fashion turns into physicality, and the girl from Columbia, Missouri, becomes something else entirely—a freight train barreling down the lane, unafraid to crash the boards or protect her teammates at any cost.
