Crystal McCrary McGuire is what one might call an icon (she has an And Just Like That character based on her!!) but her journey has been far from linear. An accomplished entertainment lawyer, writer, producer, director, and businesswoman, Crystal is now on to her latest venture with her son and NBA player, Cole Anthony. The two co-founded GameUp, an app for parents navigating youth sports. On this episode of She Pivots, Crystal shares her feelings of “otherness” attending a majority white school in the suburbs of Detroit, how working in entertainment law gave her a roadmap to entering into a creative profession, the role of documentary filmmaking in her life, and launching GameUp with her son.
