Akari's Mozzy and Dani Ravena detail their relationship as mother and daughter in an exclusive feature for One Sports Profiles.
Before she became Akari's team manager, before she was known as one of Philippine volleyball’s most respected voices, Mozzy Ravena was simply “Mom.”
For this special Profiles feature, One Sports sat down with Mozzy and her daughter Dani to talk about more than just the game — but about discipline, dreams, and the bond that continues to grow between them, on and off the court.
