Worthwhile… worth your time!

She Got Game is full of inspiring and quite possibly life changing nuggets from women who have persevered against all odds.. and are winning at life! I breezed through the bite-size episodes (20 min a pop) and ended feeling incredibly full and satisfied. An added benefit: I now I have 11 new fantastic role models! Thank you, Bonnie, for brilliantly telling their stories. YOU got game! Hope there’s another batch to come!
