Laurel Richie: Redefining Sports Leadership at 52
Laurel Richie is a significant figure in African American history, notably recognized as the first African American to lead a national sports league. Taking the helm of the WNBA at 52 in 2011 marked a pivotal moment in her career trajectory.
Before her tenure at the WNBA, Richie had already made impressive strides in her professional journey. Serving as the chief marketing officer for the Girl Scouts USA and holding a senior partner position at the esteemed advertising agency Ogilvy and Mather showcased her prowess in the corporate world.
Richie's decision to further advance her career at an age when many might consider slowing down exemplifies her unwavering determination and commitment to achieving her goals. Her journey is a guiding light of inspiration, demonstrating the endless possibilities that come with dedication and perseverance.

BAKED FETA & TOMATO SPAGHETTI SQUASH RECIPE
👍 Live Well Now Approved | Low Calorie
You Will Need:
1 medium spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise and seeded (3- to 3½-lb.)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 (4-oz.) block feta cheese, halved
8 ounces cherry tomatoes (about 1 1/2 cups)
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
Directions:
1. Position rack in middle of oven; preheat to 400°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
2. Place squash halves, cut-sides up, on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil; sprinkle with crushed red pepper, pepper and salt. Place 1 feta piece, ¾ cup tomatoes, 1½ tablespoons basil, 1½ teaspoons garlic and ¾ teaspoon oregano in each squash half. Drizzle each with 1½ teaspoons oil. Bake until the squash flesh is tender and the tomatoes burst, 50 to 55 minutes.
3. Remove from oven. Using a fork and tongs, scrape the squash contents and the long strands of squash flesh into a medium bowl. Drizzle in the remaining 1 tablespoon oil; stir to combine. Return the mixture to the squash shells; cut each in half widthwise. Transfer each to a plate; drizzle evenly with balsamic glaze and serve.
