During the event, she spoke with content creator Gabby Gonzalez. After discussing their race-day outfits, Gonzalez asked Cunningham for advice for tall girls.
The 6-foot-1 guard shared a personal message drawn from her own experience.
"My message never changes because this is why we are the way we are. Simply be you," Cunningham said. "And the things that are maybe like an insecurity or that you don't want, embrace those because that is going to be your biggest superpower.

"And so I just think it could have been really easy back in the day to kind of bend down for photos or not embrace the height," the former Missouri standout added. "But you know, whatever makes us different, that's why God made us that way. So embrace it."
Cunningham is entering a pivotal juncture in her career. She heads into free agency this offseason as her one-year deal with the Fever ends. This past season, the 30-year-old averaged 7.9 points on 46.0% shooting, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in 43 games. She also knocked down 1.6 three-pointers on a 41.9% clip.

It remains to be seen if Indiana will offer her a new contract. If that's on the table, Cunningham will need to decide whether to return to the Fever or take her talents elsewhere.
