MEET ABFIVE FOUNDER: ANALYSS BENALLY
Born and raised in Shiprock, New Mexico, Analyss Benally is a professional basketball player, actress, hall of famer, motivational speaker and community leader from the Navajo Nation. She is widely recognized for her international pro basketball career, her role in the Netflix film Rez Ball, and her dedication to inspire native youth through her ABFive basketball camps.
She Made History as a Native American Pro Athlete — Now She’s Giving Back
Analyss Benally is turning her basketball dream into something bigger. She went from a standout high school player to a Division I sharpshooter at San José State — and is now one of the few Native American women to play professional basketball overseas. Today, Analyss and her father, Brian, give back by hosting free basketball camps on reservations, inspiring Native youth to believe in their dreams and their potential.
