Savannah James, long the queen in King James’s court, is stepping into her own spotlight, and trust me, you’re going to want to pay attention. We’ve always known her as LeBron’s rock, but now she’s launching her own ventures and dropping some serious wisdom. It all started with a heart-melting “aha!” moment with her daughter, Zhuri, that’s got everyone talking. Get ready, because Savannah’s got a message.

First up, let’s talk about “Let It Break.” Forget any ideas about some fancy, exclusive club. Savannah, alongside April McDaniel, has co-created a whole membership community, and it sounds like it’s all about women growing and finding themselves together. Vannah’s not playing around with the message here. At a recent event for it, she laid it out plain and simple: “Of course a leader is only as strong as their team.” She’s all about “challenging the myth of solo success,” which, let’s be honest, is something we all need to hear more of. It’s that “co-elevation” vibe she’s pushing.

She even looked right at April and said, “A win for her is a win for me and vice versa.” That’s real. Savannah truly believes that “it’s not just about me, it’s about we,” and that whole “team work truly makes the dream work” thing? She knows it sounds like a cliché, but as she put it, “it’s true.” It’s a powerful call for everyone to lift each other up, and that kind of generosity? She says it “expands on everyone we work with and anyone who chooses to operate like that.”

But Savannah’s not just building communities; she’s also getting deeply personal, and that’s where her emotional confession about her daughter Zhuri comes in. This all came to light with the launch of her new skincare brand, ‘Reframe.’ And if you’re rolling your eyes thinking, “great, another celebrity beauty line,” just hold up a sec. The story behind ‘Reframe’ is pure mom-daughter inspiration, and it’s seriously touching.

Savannah James spilled the beans on Instagram, explaining that the whole idea for Reframe literally sparked from one of those moments with Zhuri that just stops you in your tracks. “A few years back, my daughter Zhuri looked at me and said that when she grew up, she wanted to be just like me,” Savannah wrote. Can you even imagine hearing that from your little one? Wow! That powerful, innocent statement made Savannah really pause and think: “what blueprint had I established for her to follow?”

That question, that deep mom-desire to give her daughter something amazing and inspiring to look up to, that was the real beginning. Savannah didn’t just sit on that thought; she acted. “So I stepped out of my comfort zone—for Zhuri, but really for myself,” she shared.

She decided to create a skincare brand that aimed higher than just looking good. Her vision was for something truly inclusive – embracing different skin tones and types, and also celebrating all parts of culture, like fashion, music, art, and design.

Savannah’s got game: Queen of the court (and the podcast mic!)

So Savannah’s out here building brands inspired by her kids and communities focused on lifting women up. But who is Savannah James when the business hat comes off? Well, thanks to her podcast, “Everybody’s Crazy,” we’re getting some seriously real and often hilarious glimpses into her life.

In a recent episode, the conversation turned to the dating game. Her co-host April McDaniel confessed, “I feel like I’m bad at the game and dating I’m so bad at the game and dating.” And Savannah’s response? Pure gold. She jumped in with, “I ain’t dated in a hundred years, and I’ve be trying to get this girl on the game bored.”

It’s just a funny, candid moment that shows her playful side and the easy chemistry she has with her co-host. April even joked back, “It’s a shame you don’t teach me the dating game. Somebody call in and teach April McDaniel the game of dating. Oh, God, and I’m not talking about pop the balloon.” You can just imagine the laughter.

But it’s not all jokes. Savannah’s also incredibly open about her deep love and respect for LeBron. In an interview with “The Cut” back in 2023, she really poured her heart out about their relationship. She said of LeBron, “He is truly a king to his queen, if you will. He treats me with so much respect. I mean, it is hard to not love him, with the way that he is with me and the kids and his mom and just everyone who is around him.”

That’s the kind of foundation their decades-long relationship is built on. They were high school sweethearts, remember? Savannah James was there way before all the MVP awards, the championships, the global icon status. She was his support system then, and she still is now, the mother of their three talented kids.

So yeah, Savannah’s out here being an amazing mom, a boss entrepreneur with Reframe and her podcast, and still the rock for an NBA legend. She’s doing it all with so much humor and heart, and she’s finally sharing more of her own story. We’re totally here for it.
