Former WNBA star adds style to the lives of athletes
She’s used to being a star athlete on the court, but now former WNBA player Shyra Ely-Gash is trading in hoops for heels! As part of her own personalized fashion business, Shyra is helping style athletes and coaches in the WNBA, NBA and other leagues. Part of Shyra’s message is to show young girls that they can be and do whatever they set their minds to do! See her “before and after” transformations!
Shyra is also this year’s NCAA Brand Ambassador for the 2016 Women’s Final Four in Indianapolis.
