A nine-year-old girl's life changed forever last November when she noticed sneakers designed by her favorite NBA player, Stephen Curry, apparently weren't available in girls' sizes.
"I just wanted it to change because I didn't think it was fair," Morrison told "CBS This Morning."
After reading the letter, Curry and Under Armour decided to change the way they market shoes to girls. They also invited Morrison to design the artwork on the inside of a new version of the shoe.
"I want my girls to know that and have that confidence," Curry said. "As a father, I think that's a job we have every single day to hopefully shape their perspective that they can do whatever they want to."
The timing of Riley getting her shoes is no coincidence. Later Friday night, she'll wear her new kicks at center court of the Warriors game, on International Women's Day, right alongside her idol and part-time pen pal.
Morrison also hopes a lesson is learned from her experience.
"We all have a voice and by simply writing a letter you can make a change," Morrison said.
