About
Dani got her start writing for The Undefeated, where she carved out a niche at the intersection of basketball and broader cultural storytelling. Her longform profiles — covering everyone from overlooked G-League veterans to global stars navigating life in the NBA — have been cited in three Best Sports Writing of the Year anthologies. Born in Lagos and raised in Atlanta, Dani has a particular passion for the globalisation of the game and has reported from EuroBasket, the FIBA World Cup, and the US national team's development program. She holds a master's in journalism from Northwestern and still plays pickup every Saturday morning.
