“I hadn’t accomplished much…” Savannah James makes vulnerable admission ahead of new business venture
Savannah James, wife of NBA legend LeBron James, steps into the spotlight with her new organization, Let It Break.

LeBron and Savannah James
One would think that as the wife of one of the most famous basketball players, they would crumble under the pressure. Not Savannah James, as she has long stayed out of the public eye, while focused on her private life and raising their three kids.
However, Savannah James took the basketball community by storm when she recently stepped into the spotlight with the launch of her podcast and a new organization, Let It Break, which is a personal development platform and community for women.
I wasn’t super confident in who I was at the time, because I felt like I hadn’t accomplished much… I kind of felt like because I didn’t have a title, I’m not welcome in these rooms.

Along with friend and business partner April McDaniel, Mrs. James founded Let It Break, which is aimed at providing a space for women to focus on personal development and community building. Furthermore, she was inspired to create Let It Break after a conversation with her 10-year-old daughter, who wanted to emulate her mom’s appearance.
As a proud husband, LeBron James has publicly credited his wife Savannah for his success. In a recent documentary, he reflected on his relationship with Savannah and how she allowed him to focus on his career.
Savannah James took to Tamron Hall Show to celebrate family milestones
While she’s stepping out of her comfort zone, it has also been an exciting year for the James family, as her husband, LeBron James signed a two-year extension with the Los Angeles Lakers and won an Olympic gold medal in Paris. However, the most memorable moment for the family came when Bronny James made his highly anticipated NBA debut last month.
Savannah James took to the “Tamron Hall Show” to discuss her son’s milestone, as she beamed with pride while she talked about her son taking the court. She had even more reason to celebrate when both her hubby and son made history by becoming the first father-son duo to play together in an NBA game.
Extremely proud… Understanding the moment and the history. You know, just how special it was.
Savannah James said on the Tamron Hall Show
The moment occurred during a game against the Minnesota Timberwolves on October 22. And while the James family is no stranger to making history, this latest milestone really touched her as much as the NBA world.
