Masai Ujiri (Toronto Raptors President)

This week, Isha is joined by her friend and fellow activist, Masai Ujiri. As a former athlete and current President of the Toronto Raptors, Masai has a mental fortitude that extends well beyond basketball. This is the same fortitude he had to exhibit when one of the highlights of his career took a dark turn. In this episode, Masai illustrates why he credits his multinational upbringing for much of his success and why he chooses to invest in the youth. To support Masai’s organization, go to https://giantsofafrica.org/Follow Isha Sesay on Twitter and Instagram. Follow Wonder Media NetworkWebsiteInstagramTwitter Hosted on Acast.
