Who Is Savannah James?
Savannah James finds little enjoyment in the spotlight that comes with being a basketball star’s wife. Appearances on the red carpet or television makes her feel a “bit clammy,” but she is more than willing to step out of her comfort zone for what she believes in. Savannah doesn’t identify with fame, she is a champion for empowerment.

“I’m still a very private person,” the youngest of five 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren explained. “But these things reflect the passion that I have as far as giving back, the philanthropic part of me. So with those things, I don’t mind stepping out.”
