THE VAULT

Now more than ever athletes are using social media as a platform to speak up about their personal struggles to reveal that they too are imperfect humans. That was the inspiration behind those mini series created in collaboration with Alaysha Iwaias, VAULT (Valid Athletes Uplifting Themselves). This series highlights the side that are not seen on the court while still showcasing competitive nature to let the world know they are more than an athlete. In the first episode of this series, Alaysha sits down with UNC Asheville guard LJ Thorpe to discuss the highs and lows of his basketball career.
