 ANS Lab's Feature Friday is now a podcast! The goal of our long-standing Feature Friday initiative has always been to give you a platform to share your experiences, expertise, and passions. This platform hosts holistic conversations promoting stellar ANS community members and true allies, placing a focus on the fantastic work being done in the community to help close the employment gap for Blacks and ANS between the ages of 18-35. We inspire our audience by exploring your personal stories, what drives you, and your accomplishments. This year's 12 podcast episodes, which come out the last Friday of every month, are hosted by Aaliyah Arab-Smith and Trevor Silver and are sponsored and supported by ShiftKey Labs, with giveaways of two $50.00 e-gift cards for every episode. There will also be the opportunity to win gift cards from local Black businesses. You can find the podcast on all podcast platforms as well as YouTube!

    S2E3: "More Than Just an Athlete" with Daneesha Provo
    Mar 28 2025

    Our guest for this month's Feature Friday episode is Daneesha Provo!

    Daneesha’s journey has been all about growth, purpose, and impact, and she is excited to see where it takes her next. Right now, Daneesha is taking some time away from basketball to focus on family, enjoy life, and really be present in this chapter.

    After years of dedicating herself to the game, playing at the highest levels, traveling the world, and pushing through the ups and downs, she’s embracing a new balance. One of her biggest priorities is building her basketball academy. She’s always believed in using basketball as a tool for education and opportunity, and now she is fully committed to creating a space where young female athletes can grow, learn, and chase their dreams just like she did.

    Beyond basketball, she has been tapping into other passions, including writing a children’s book, something she has wanted to do for a long time. Storytelling has always been important to her, and she is excited to bring her experiences and lessons to life in a way that inspires kids from her community and Nova Scotia.

    Daneesha is also working with Tribe Network as the Community Engagement Lead, which has been an amazing experience. She gets to collaborate with incredible people, connect with her community in new ways, and help create opportunities for others. It’s been the perfect setup for her, and is loving every moment of it.

    Travel is also still a big part of her life. Whether it’s for work or just exploring, she loves being able to see new places, meet new people, and gain fresh perspectives.
