show moreIn a podcast first, teammates and dynamite guards Tiana Mangakahia and Vanessa Panousis come together to promote the breast cancer initiative but also share their moving and often hilarious anecdotes as friends, a journey that started from juniors at Nationals through to college with fate having them suit up together at The Sydney Flames - a life lesson that ‘it’s more than basketball’.
It’s a heart-rending account of Tiana’s personal journey with breast cancer while still at US College, made more profound with Vanessa sharing the impact for her, considering her own experience with the loss of her mother from cancer.
At turns serious and silly, this episode will touch you as hope shines through, Tiana reminding women and men of all ages to stay vigilant and check regularly in her advocacy of breast cancer awareness.
There’s a lot of joy and laughter with these two spirited friends, their mutual support and love makes for an uplifting episode with rip roaring humour served up.
Both Tiana and Ness share the next part of their journey post WNBL season, both suiting up for the NBL1; Tiana in the North and Ness in the East. We also hear more on Tiana’s addition to the extended Opals Squad in prep for the FIBA Women’s Asia Cup. Another world class women’s hoops event hosted in Sydney this July.
Loads to unpack in this one…
Enjoy!
