Keana Foz
I am a Division I women's basketball student-athlete/ CEO at Grand Canyon University and the Founder of Point Goddess, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering young girls and women through sport, mentorship, leadership, education, and community. Founded when I was about 15, Point Goddess has grown into a platform that creates, meaningful experiences and opportunities for young women to build confidence, develop as leaders, and feel supported both on and off the court. As a young leader, I am passionate about using my journey, relationships, and platform to open doors for the next generation and create lasting impact in the communities I serve.
