The Independent reports on the evolving nature of the WNBA draft, which now highlights not only athletic talent but also the athletes' identities, culture, and heritage. Kiki Iriafen's notable appearance at the draft showcases this trend, as she prioritizes her Nigerian heritage in her choice of attire, made by a Nigerian designer. This shift in focus allows athletes to honor their backgrounds while making powerful fashion statements. The draft is now recognized as a platform for self-expression and cultural pride beyond just sports.
