Los Angeles Sparks’ Essence Carson Talks Leadership, Team Chemistry & More

Essence Carson is the ma’aam!

The 7th pick in the WNBA Draft out of Rutgers, by the New York Liberty, the Paterson, NJ native has always benefited from getting that homecooking. Now in LA as a member of the Los Angeles Sparks, she’s bi-costal and still running things after winning a championship with the Sparks this fall.

The coolest part about her is her leadership skills. It’s the little things that stand out.

In her last season with the New York Liberty, when we chatted about what made her team great, her response was: “We’re great individual players but we also have that chemistry. We have selfless players and that’s important when you’re trying to build a championship caliber team.”

Listen to her talk inspires you because she’s soft-spoken, but observant and honest. Other than hoops she also has a budding music career as both an artist and producer. Going by the name, Pr3pE which is pronounced “Preppy” she’s in the indie hip hop scenem her first album, Broken Diary dropped a few years ago.

You can hear more from Carson in a Scoop B Radio original. Press play below.
