Some of the WNBA's biggest stars are being featured in SI_Swimsuit's 2022 issue!
Fresh off its 25th anniversary and two years of high-profile advocacy of racial justice, human rights, mental health and more, the WNBA remains at the forefront of societal change. It continues to evolve and stand for respect, equal pay, recognition for sacrifices made and the right to be complex, multifaceted and have aspirations—all with a table tilted against them. Says Sparks forward Nneka Ogwumike, “I love the differences we celebrate and moving them forward.
Cooper, a point guard, has broken into modeling and fashion, Cooper greatly admires the players who came before her, while hoping to carry on their work. “They worked hard to get us to where we are now,” Cooper says. “It’s still growing and it’s come far—bigger platform and stage, more support, and viewership. But there are so many more windows to break.be one of the top athletes is an amazing accomplishment. And for people to be able to see it is empowering.
Inhabiting a multitude of spaces is nothing new to Ogwumike. “I’m very much a creative person,” she says. “I love music, food, I’m Nigerian American, I’m a Stanford graduate…there is so much about me that makes me me, and I’m hoping it's exuded in this issue especially for women who are trying to find their own individual confidence.”
