In this episode of the 828 Elite Podcast, we had the incredible privilege of sitting down with the talented and dynamic Maria Young — a proud Western North Carolina native and All-American collegiate basketball player.

Maria shares insights from her powerful book, Lost In A Game: The Journey to self Discovery, and gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the exciting stage productions she’s currently directing. From the court to the creative arts, Maria's journey is one of resilience, purpose, and vision.
