Biography

Hello! From Atlanta, Georgia (USA), my name is Kasiyahna Kushkituah. I am a recent graduate of the class of 2021 from University of Tennessee. Residing from Atlanta, Georgia , I have achieved my personal goal of completing two degrees in 4 years; my Bachelor's Degree in Hotel, Retail, and Tourism Management and my Master's in Communications and Information, with a concentration in Journalism and Electronic Media. As a Student Athlete, I played and represented Lady Vols Basketball for the University of Tennessee, making it to the NCAA tournament every year, with expectation of the COVID tournament cancellation year. I have displayed perseverance through a few minor injuries and surgery during my athletic career but still managed to play an important role on my team as a strong post player. Over the recent months, I have been able to develop my game to expand my position play and will continue to work on my progress. After having a successful 10+ years of a basketball resume, I decided to play professionally and secured my first contract immediately after my college graduation. For summer 2021, I am playing in Brazil with Sampaio Basketball Club. In the fall, I will relocate, live and play professional basketball in Portugal throughout spring 2022. The following year I've played in both Egypt and Turkey professional. During this time, I look forward to focusing on remote business ventures and goals. My main passion is my business and fashion. My business, F.A.B. (Female Athletes Beyond) which is a community that helps and uplifts all females by providing life skills and resources beyond their sports. My other passions include Fashion styling, Content Creation and working out. I am currently a fashion stylist at Nordstrom and House of CB which I truly enjoy! My content is based on my life experiences, including academic and business achievements, basketball, fashion trends, and candid insights. My goal of managing this channel is for young girls to have something to look up to, get a realistic view of their life as a young adult, and ways to navigate through life. I have always shared that if a YouTube channel with real life content was more readily available when I was younger highlighting the ins and outs of college, athletics, social lives and more, I would' have been a little more prepared. I love sharing content on my social media pages that reflects a balanced lifestyle outside, which is more than just being an athlete. These platforms allow me to demonstrate that I am a whole person, with several talents beyond sports. I consider myself to be creative, open-minded and always willing to learn. I am unique.
