Angel Reese is having quite an eventful WNBA offseason. After her second year in the pros, which saw her become an All-Star once again, the Chicago Sky star is making the most of her break with various activities on and off the court.

Reese, who led the Sky in scoring (14.7) and rebounding (12.6) in 2025, continues to work on her game. However, she isn't forgetting to work on her partnerships and businesses as she grows her personal brand.

Aside from hosting her podcast, "Unapologetically Angel," the 23-year-old forward has been increasing her presence in the fashion and entertainment scene. Last October, she became the first professional athlete to walk in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

Reese also made a cameo in the Netflix film "A House of Dynamite," all while attending various fashion events.

Sure enough, Reese isn't stopping anytime soon. In fact, she is set to make another public appearance this offseason, as the WNBA star revealed on Monday that she'll take part in the HBCU Aware Fest in March.

"Excited to be a part of the inaugural HBCU Awarefest in ATL!" Reese wrote, while sharing a promotion photo of herself for the event.

The HBCU Aware Fest is scheduled for March 26, 2026 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. Reese is set to be one of the guests, along with NBA star Chris Paul and former NFL player Ryan Clark, among many others.

There will also be performances from John Legend, GloRilla and Coco Jones, among many others.

According to its website, the HBCU Aware Fest was created to support the Student Freedom Initiative, which aims to "provide a scalable solution to the $1.7 trillion student loan debt crisis, where 43 million borrowers hold an average student loan debt balance of $38,000 each."
