Angel Reese, one of the biggest stars in the WNBA, recently announced a new business venture. Following a successful rookie season with the Chicago Sky, Reese has been busy in the offseason, opening new doors in the business world.
A recent report by Demica Inman at VIBE revealed that Reese has partnered with Cash App, a digital wallet service for American consumers. The partnership will focus on giveaways, community empowerment and limited edition debit cards.
Reese became the first athlete in WNBA history to partner with Cash App.
“Angel Reese is redefining what it means to be a game changer, authentically pushing the boundaries between sport and culture,” said Catherine Ferdon, the Cash App CMO.
Cash App will also be releasing “The Angel Machine,” which is located at W. Fulton St and No. Sangamon St. in Chicago, Illinois.
These machines will give fans an opportunity to play an “interactive game” with the chance to win Reese’s college jersey, sneakers and more.
The Cash App company will also serve as a sponsor to Reese’s “Unapologetically Angel” podcast, with plans to surprise fans with giveaways on the show.

Reese is coming off a historic rookie season with the Sky. The rookie quickly became a league superstar after being selected at No. 7 in the WNBA draft.
At 22 years old, she was named to the WNBA All-Star team after averaging 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds per game. Reese led the WNBA in average rebounds and was the only rookie to average a double-double.
