“You were born with the ability to change someone’s life, don’t ever waste it”
This week we are joined by Miss Sarah Chan. She is a south Sudanese woman who is scouting for the raptors in Africa in hopes of finding the next Pascal Siakam. Her life story involved leaving war-stricken Sudan for Kenya, finding basketball, and playing it in the United States and around the world. It included a tryout with a WNBA team and a master’s degree in international relations. Sarah Chan landed her dream job after meeting Masai Ujiri, and is now scouring Africa to find the next big star
She is the first African woman to be the lead scout for an NBA franchise in Africa. The inspirational South-Sudanese women rights activist is currently the African Scouting Manager for the 2019 NBA champions Toronto Raptors.

We got the opportunity to talk to her about Toronto raptors, Difficult times, Perseverance, Family, Basketball, the NBA finals and more!
We hope you enjoy what we had for you.
