08/16/20 • 47 min

Episode 4 of the CORTside Podcast features guest Niesha Butler as we discuss overcoming adversity, her basketball journey, and her company Ballin’ Technologies which teaches coding, STEM and technology through sports for the youth in her community.

Butler talks about her time in NYC where her basketball game resulted in astonishing accolades such as being the first female to play for the infamous Gauchos travel team, becoming the all-time NYC high school leader in total points scored with 3,127, and joining Kareem Abdul Jabar as the only players to be named to the NYC All City Team four years in a row. After being recruited by Coney Island’s own Stephon Marbury, Niesha Butler went on to attend Georgia Tech to continue dropping buckets down in Atlanta. We discuss her time in college, where the game took her after hanging up the Yellow Jacket jersey, and all her current business ventures including founding the non for profit Ballin Technologies.
