Meet Court Smith another one of the first Dope Dad’s to be our guest on This Mama Got Drama as we celebrate Father’s Day all through June! He is a designer, a businessman and a dad of 3 who assumes his responsibility to protect and guide the children in his community like they were his own. He started his work designing team uniforms when he realized the kids in the league his kids played in we’re feeling and looking like they were lacking something - confidence! The designs in his uniforms gave these kids the push they needed to release their inner limitless potential so they could step on the court to handle business. In addition to working with youth athletes, he has an apparel line and works with NBA players to build their brands. As he continues to cultivate his businesses- Court also has a non-profit arm, Ascension, that aims to protect and empower Bay Area youth with its current focus being gun violence prevention. His love for design aligned seamlessly with his responsibility to help protect the kids when he created his own line of bulletproof backpacks. Join us as we talk what it takes to get an idea like this off the ground as well as how having kids impacted his drive and need to succeed!
