In today’s episode of the social justice podcast Play It Forward presented by PeacePlayers,  power couple Evan Unrau and Seb Kimyacioglu share their personal journeys from playing collegiate basketball to falling in love. Seb Kimyacioglu is a former professional basketball player having won trophies with Galatasaray in Turkey, represented Turkey at the Rio Olympics, and now works for the FOX corporation! Evan, also a former professional basketball player, went down the coaching route and shares with us some of those experiences that led her to her current role as director of PeacePlayers Los Angeles. We ultimately arrive at how their two journeys were interconnected and led them both to be confident and comfortable with who they are, which allows them to be their fullest selves in their relationship with each other, their peers, and the people they engage with. AND we also get to hear who they think would win in a one-on-one match-up. As Chinny says at the top of the episode, we were originally hoping to share this during Pride month in June, BUT let’s make EVERY month PRIDE MONTH!
