QUEST10NS: Kristen Mann, WNBA Star and Sapphica Lead Singer, Answers Our Questions

You probably know Kristen Mann, the 6-foot-2 WNBA goddess, from her days on the court with the Minnesota Lynx. Recently, however, Mann has also set off in a new direction as front woman for the band Sapphica, with fellow musician Gabriel Mann (neither related to Kristen nor the actor from Revenge).
