Get ready for more powerful voices in women’s sports! Chicago Sky’s dynamic forward, Angel Reese, has officially joined the ownership group of Togethxr, an athlete-led media company dedicated to amplifying women’s sports. This move places Reese alongside fellow trailblazers like Alex Morgan, Sue Bird, Simone Manuel, and Chloe Kim.
Championing Women’s Sports
Togethxr is renowned for its powerful slogan, “Everyone Watches Women’s Sports,” and its mission to significantly boost the popularity and visibility of female athletes. Reese, who has already made a huge impact on the WNBA, is seen as a perfect fit for the company’s vision. According to a press release, Reese embodies the type of investor and ambassador Togethxr aims to attract.
Reese expressed her enthusiasm for the role, stating, “Joining TOGETHXR’s ownership group means so much to me because it’s more than just being part of a platform—it’s about changing the way women in sports are seen and celebrated. I’ve always wanted to use my voice and my game to open doors for others, and TOGETHXR is doing exactly that.”
A Natural Fit for a Trailblazer
The addition of Reese was celebrated with a limited-edition Angel Reese oversized unisex jersey, retailing for $80 on their site. Co-founder Alex Morgan highlighted how Reese complements the existing group of influential leaders. “When you think about the athletes owning their competitive arenas and transcending culture, Angel Reese is a natural complement to the remarkable and influential leaders we’re proud to welcome to TOGETHXR,” Morgan said.
Reese, a two-time WNBA All-Star, sees this as an opportunity to collaborate and bring a fresh perspective. “It’s not so much about teaching them as it is about joining them, and bringing a fresh perspective into everything they’ve already been doing so well,” she told USA Today. She aims to help build upon the strong foundation Togethxr has already established.
Challenging the Status Quo
Sue Bird, a recent inductee into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, emphasized that Reese’s drive to challenge the status quo aligns perfectly with Togethxr’s core mission. “TOGETHXR was built to challenge the system and prove what we’ve always known: that women in sports set the standard, shift the story, and drive the conversations that matter,” Bird stated. “Angel Reese is already doing that.”
Reese echoed this sentiment, expressing her desire to be part of something bigger than herself. “For me, it’s about being part of something bigger than myself — something that represents what I believe in both on and off the court,” she said. She’s eager to bring her energy and drive to further elevate women’s sports.
