Maya Moore

Maya April Moore is an American professional basketball player.

With multiple WNBA championships, Olympic gold medals and back-to-back collegiate national titles, Maya Moore is “the greatest winner in the history of women’s basketball,” as Sports Illustrated put it.

So last year, when she decided to forgo playing professional basketball at the prime of her career to advocate for reform of the U.S. criminal-justice system, many were stunned.
