🏀 An unforgettable (birth)day in the DMV as Trae Young showed up to inspire the next generation of young hoopers. Through drills, mentorship, and plenty of encouragement, these kids learned that success is built on hard work, confidence, and community. 🌟

From the first whistle to the final huddle, it was a weekend to remember. 🎥🏀💙

During WNBA All-Star, the Jr. WNBA and @Tampax created space for girls to learn, grow, and lift each other up - through basketball and beyond.

From building skills on the court to hearing inspiring words from Chicago Sky's Natasha Cloud, every moment reinforced the power of confidence, connection, and believing in yourself. Here's a look back at an unforgettable experience. ✨
