In this episode of The Blueprint, Roc sits down with athlete makeup artist Danii Uke to explore a side of sports culture that doesn't get talked about enough: beauty.

Danii shares how she carved out her niche as an Athlete MUA, combining her love of sports and beauty into a career working with athletes. The conversation covers everything from game-day makeup routines and long-lasting products to the unique considerations that come with working in sports environments.

We also discuss:

• How DiJonai Carrington has seemingly mastered in-game makeup that holds up through competition
• Danii's favorite beauty products right now
• What she'd buy with a gift card at Sephora and Ulta
• Working with masc-presenting athletes and creating looks that feel authentic to the individual
• Building trust with athlete clients
• The realities of creating your own lane in sports and beauty
• Her journey into the industry

And of course, Danii takes on the Tunnel Fits Podcast signature question: Who are the five best-dressed players in the WNBA right now?

If you're interested in sports, beauty, fashion, or building a creative career in a niche industry, this episode is for you.

Shema Love is helping shape how women's basketball looks off the court.

In this episode of Tunnel Fits Podcast, I sit down with artist, designer, and sports tastemaker Shema Love to talk about the intersection of fashion, basketball, and storytelling. From designing college apparel for Alpha Kappa Alpha to creating WNBA merchandise and custom athlete pieces, Shema has built a career around helping people express who they are through design.

We talk about the story behind her viral WNBA All-Star cardigan, creating Brittany Griner's Welcome Home merchandise, and why the best designs always have a deeper story behind them. Shema also shares how she approaches color, the sports teams with the best visual identities, and the underrated shades more designers should be using.

Of course, we couldn't let her leave without discussing tunnel style. We get into how athlete fashion has evolved, which players' style translates best to art, and her Top 5 Best Dressed WNBA Players of All Time.

If you're interested in women's basketball, sports fashion, branding, illustration, or the creative people helping shape the culture around the game, this episode is for you.

Molly is the founder of All My Friends Are Hoopers, a basketball apparel brand that has quickly become a favorite inside WNBA locker rooms. What started as a simple design for her office turned into a fast-growing brand rooted in hoop culture and community.

In Season 3 Episode 2 of the Tunnel Fits Podcast, Molly joins us to talk about turning a love for basketball into a brand worn by some of the best players in the world.

Before launching her first products, Molly sampled over 30 different shirts to find the perfect quality. That commitment paid off when WNBA players began wearing All My Friends Are Hoopers, validating the vision she had written in her notebook long before the brand ever existed.

We talk about the process of building a sports apparel brand, the importance of authenticity in basketball culture, and why community is the foundation of everything she’s building.

If you're interested in basketball fashion, WNBA culture, sports entrepreneurship, or hoop community, this episode is for you.

In this episode we discuss

• How All My Friends Are Hoopers started
• Why quality mattered before launching the brand
• The moment WNBA players began wearing the pieces
• Building a community through basketball culture
• Advice for anyone starting a sports or apparel brand
