Russell Westbrook @russwest44 is no stranger to dreaming big, having followed a “why not?” mantra that led him to become an NBA legend. He brings that same mentality off the court to the @whynotfdn. Discover his plans for the future: on.natgeo.com/OjgNlo #NatGeo33

Through our Changing Lives from Scratch Fund and @russwest44’s @WhyNotFdn , we hosted the first-ever Why Not? Weeks at LKA! 👩🍳
Teens from @BCrusade gained real-life skills, confidence, and independence—all through the power of cooking.
