The past three years have seen a worldwide explosion of interest in women's basketball and the rise of young superstars like Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, and Paige Bueckers. As the audience grows exponentially, the public is hungry to know more about some of the women who have ushered the sport into this bright spotlight, including elite and still-active veterans like Breanna Stewart, A'ja Wilson, Natasha Howard, Napheesa Collier, and others.
Before Natasha Howard was a three-time WNBA champion, before she was named Defensive Player of the Year, she was a thoughtful girl growing up in very difficult circumstances. Her mother faced challenges of her own while shepherding her four children between cities, and sometimes in and out of homeless shelters.
Young Natasha's life changed when her uncle Greg introduced her to basketball-with a bribe that included candy. Tash was instantly hooked. But what does a basketball player do when her school doesn't have a girls' team? She joins together with a friend to demand that they be allowed to try out for the boys' team. Which is what Tash did-and then became a starter.
In 2025 Natasha Howard was named MVP of the 2025 WNBA Commissioner's Cup. She currently plays with the Minnesota Lynx and shows no signs of slowing down at the age of thirty-four. The Vision Through My Lens is her powerful story of building a life for herself through basketball. As a gay, Black woman, she used all her strength to forge forth, to triumph over an astonishing array of obstacles. Co-authored by Deyscha Smith, this memoir tells an unusually empowering tale of a strong girl becoming a stronger woman.
