About ASWBL
AWSBL's purpose is to bring girls and women hoopers to the forefront by amplifying their stores, bringing more visibility to their lives and the #HER basketball culture in general.
​
ASWBL has achieved a space of bringing different generations together along with love and community unity!
​
There has been a lack of representation for women hoops, and ASWBL has made it their mission to create a larger voice to uplift, empower and inspire girls and women hoopers to be included in future programs, projects, and be given opportunities for higher platforms.
​
ASWBL's values are simple. We believe in community, family, paying-it-forward and giving back! It's in Ana's nature and now has been integrated into the DNA of ASWBL.
​
New York City has always been home of ASWBL, and we have made Chicago a home as well! On this journey, Chicago purpose and fulfillment has been gained. We are proud of who we have mentored, gain valuable networks we have acquired, the support system with embraced and now the partnership with the Jordan Brand. We thank all who have become our new family. There 's nothing like family!
​
Feel free to join us as we keep making steps in our journey.
