Sheryl Swoopes features in documentary on motherhood in the WNBA

Sheryl Swoopes is highlighted in the Roku documentary *Gamechangers: Mother/Athlete*, which premiered at the Martha’s Vineyard African-American Film Festival on August 9. The film explores the challenges WNBA players face balancing motherhood and their careers. Alongside Swoopes, Skylar Diggins-Smith, Bria Hartley, Natalie Achonwa, and Allison Feaster share personal experiences of pregnancy, postpartum depression, and returning to the court. The documentary aims to shed light on the evolution of the league’s approach to motherhood, particularly following the 2020 collective bargaining agreement that improved player benefits. *Gamechangers* is set to release on Roku this fall.
