Sarah sat down with WNBA legend Nneka Ogwumike this week as part of the Women’s Sports Foundation’s annual Athlete Leadership Connection event. They discuss why Nneka’s not *really* retired, her proudest moment as a WNBA player and leader, and the question everyone is asking: Will she go from Madame President to Commissioner Ogwumike? Plus, Nneka names a woman, we’re asking for earnestness, and Halloween and Gay S***.
