Able Quote by Lisa Leslie

“I don't think I would have been able to stick with it and been proud of who I am and be feminine out on the court. I think I would have folded to the peer pressure if I didn't have my mom to encourage me to be me and be proud of how tall I am.” quote by Lisa Leslie — Download Open image
