CHICAGO, IL – January 13, 2026 – Tropace Company, a leader in premium, all-natural herbal teas rooted in African wellness traditions, is proud to announce an exciting new equity partnership with WNBA stars and champions Azurá Stevens and Dana Evans alongside Gregory Jones II with G2 Hoops. This collaboration brings together elite athletic performance and ancient wellness wisdom to inspire a global community toward optimal health.
Azurá Stevens, a 6’6” power forward and center for the Los Angeles Sparks and a 2021 WNBA Champion, is widely recognized for her mobility and defensive dominance. Beyond the court, Stevens is a dedicated community advocate, recently receiving the Seasonlong WNBA Cares Community Assist Award for her extensive youth outreach.
Dana Evans, a two-time WNBA Champion (2021, 2025) and dynamic guard for the Las Vegas Aces, is celebrated for her high-energy play and leadership, having earned back-to-back ACC Player of the Year honors during her collegiate career at Louisville.
“We are thrilled to welcome Azurá and Dana to the Tropace team,” said Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Mamud Dako. “Both athletes embody the grit, excellence, and holistic balance that our brand stands for. Their dedication to wellness and community health equity perfectly aligns with our mission to make Afrocentric health solutions accessible to everyone”.
As professional athletes, Stevens and Evans understand that peak performance starts with recovery and mindful nutrition. Tropace teas, crafted from recipes passed down through generations of matriarchs, provide a natural foundation for this vitality. The equity partnership will focus on how the athletes integrate Tropace into their daily rituals—using blends like the Senna Detox Tea for gentle digestive support and the Immunity Tea to stay resilient during a demanding season.
“Wellness is the foundation of my game,” said Stevens. “I’m excited to join a brand that honors heritage while supporting my health goals with clean, effective ingredients”. Evans added, “Staying energized and hydrated is non-negotiable for me. Tropace teas don’t just have incredible flavor; they represent a commitment to quality and community that I am proud to stand behind”.
