Aria McManus started Downtown Girls Basketball, a team for women "who are specifically bad at basketball"

In this episode we talk to Aria McManus, an artist and creative director who started Downtown Girls Basketball in 2013.

The team for women and people who don't identify as male "who are specifically bad at basketball,” started as a wild idea when Aria got 30 of her artist and designer friends out to play together. They had so much fun, Aria hosted another game the following week.

In the six years since, that core group has ballooned to a rotating crew of 400+ of women. Every week they come together to get exercise, relive their love for basketball, and, most importantly, goof off with other creative, fun-loving women.
