So during an interview shoot with Harper’s Bazaar, she spoke about the difficulties of being in a small town. She said, “I’m from a very small city, Akron. And most of the girls from there, they get stuck. Like they feel like there’s nothing else besides Akron. So I really just want to explain to them that anything is possible.” She further added saying, “I’m starting an empowerment weekend for girls, it’s going to be called ‘Girl listen.’ So many girls have jaded opinions about things so just want to explain to them that anybody is perfect. Basically, get them out of a rut of feeling like they’re stuck or have to do something because someone is saying it. I want them to totally get away from that.”

Savannah is attempting to enhance the lives of at-risk Akron youngsters via the LeBron James Family Foundation. The organization offers a wide range of programs and services, such as after-school tutoring, college preparation, and financial aid.
