Sally is also the New York Director at PeacePlayers International, a global sport for social change organization that uses the game of basketball to unite young communities divided by conflict. Prior to her current role, she worked with PeacePlayers in Belfast, Northern Ireland for a few years before returning to NYC.  While in Belfast, she played with the Phoenix Basketball Club.

She is driven by building community for a cause through sport and grounded in partnerships with diverse stakeholders. Last year, she was featured in Nike Shadow Air Force 1 Campaign paying homage to women using sport to inspire the next generation.

She continues to use her voice to advocate for girls in sports and to intentionally engage communities. She has been invited to speak on numerous panels including at Georgetown University's Advanced Integrated Marketing Sports Conference.

"Sally Nnamani is a special person," commented legendary Lightning Coach Eric Harrison. "Not only was she an exceptional student athlete, but she has always possessed leadership qualities, and a determination to change the world.  Everyone who ever had a relationship with Sally is much better off."
