Faith Bonett is from Moorestown, N.J. and is a sophomore forward on the UNH women's basketball team. She is an outstanding student-athlete who has earned a spot on the America East Commissioner's Honor Roll with a perfect 4.0 GPA for the spring semester of 2020.

Q&A WITH FAITH
What inspired you to become such an active member of SAAC?
In high school I was involved in Student Council as a homeroom representative and was a part of an athlete council as well. I have a strong passion for community service and helping others which made me interested in serving on the SAAC board. I know as an athlete it is important to use my voice and the special platform I have been provided in a positive light.
Was there a specific moment that inspired you to begin the clothing line For The Kingdom?
One of the most significant moments that inspired me to start the "For the Kingdom" store was the brutal murder of George Floyd. Seeing the video, and how the world erupted, inspired me to not only participate in protests in my area, but to also find a way I could personally make an impact in my community. I've always been fond of art, so using it as a way to bring people together as well as make an impact on the lives of young people of color in my area is very important to me.
You mentioned in the Wildcat Chat Interview that you wanted to add a local charity to receive the funds from your clothing line. What type of charities would you plan on adding?
Originally, the funds from The TOGETHER and EMPATHY collections were being donated to the Color of Change, but after thinking, I decided to switch to the LUCY Outreach in Camden, N.J. which is an organization that serves underprivileged youth in the town. SAAC will be doing the annual Food Frenzy food drive in November, but instead of making it a competition among all the America East schools, we will work to donate to local food pantries. I am planning on opening up the store again and donating those funds to those pantries!
Is there a specific game that has been your favorite and why?
One of my favorite games was playing against Princeton this past year. Princeton is only 20 minutes away from my hometown, so I was able to have a lot of support from my family and friends. It was also the first time my grandma got the chance to see me play basketball so it was a very special moment for me to play in front of her.
How do you hope to be an inspiration to underclassmen and other athletes?
I hope to inspire underclassmen on my team and others through my actions. I hope that the choices I make and the way I live will allow others to realize that they can make an impact on their communities. I also want people to know that the size of the impact does not matter. Even the smallest decision can cause a massive ripple effect.
