Tatyana McCall Wimberley joins the HeadRush Podcast for one of our most powerful episodes yet, sharing the life and legacy of her son Ray Lewis III, who tragically passed away and was later diagnosed with Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE).
As the mother of Ray Ray and former partner of NFL Hall-of-Famer Ray Lewis, Tatyana provides an unfiltered, emotional look into football culture, warning signs of brain trauma, and the devastating impact that repeated head impacts can have on athletes and families.
We talk about:
• Ray Lewis III’s life, spirit, and athletic journey
• The symptoms and struggles that often go unnoticed before a CTE diagnosis
• The emotional and mental toll on families
• The urgent need for education, research, and safer sports practices
• The creation and mission of the RL3 Foundation at RL3Foundation.com, dedicated to protecting and supporting athletes
This episode honors Ray Ray’s life while pushing forward the fight for athlete mental health, brain-injury awareness, and real change in sports.
