Nakissa Koomalsingh (Keesa K) is the founder of HOOPQUEENS, Canada’s first paid women’s basketball league. A former varsity athlete, Keesa’s passion for addressing inequity in women’s sports led her to create a platform that celebrates and elevates women’s basketball.
Founded in 2021, HOOPQUEENS offers skills development, mentorship, and resources to support athletes at every stage of their journey. Keesa is dedicated to changing the narrative for women in sport and inspiring women to confidently create their own path.
After William Young’s passing in 2021, his daughter, Meghan Yuri Young found a meaningful way for his legacy to live on by donating his estate—a $20,000 fund, the William Young Growth Fund—to support HOOPQUEENS. This generous act, which Meghan describes as deeply meaningful, ensures her father’s impact will continue to inspire and empower the next generation of athletes.
