Tywanna was taught at an early age the importance of hard work and dedication. Her parents had high standards for her and her younger sister that were expected. Tywanna took those same standards with her through school, college and into her successful career. This wise woman merged her love for business and basketball to becoming the President of the Athlete's Nexus. If you have children or know of someone that's an athlete looking to go to the next level in any sport. Tune in. Get your pen and get ready. Tywanna dropped so many nuggets. https://www.tywannasmith.com/
