UH’s Lanny Smith behind Nigeria’s Winter Olympic opening ceremony look

When UH basketball alumnus Lanny Smith suffered a career ending injury while on the Sacramento Kings, he turned to his friend Stephen Curry, and created Active Faith, a sportswear company with a Christian lens.

Fast forward a few years later, Team Nigeria donned Active Faith’s sister company, Actively Black, at the 2022 Winter Olympic Opening Ceremonies, putting a UH alumnus on the forefront of an international platform.
