The WNBA is LOADED! If you weren’t drafted tonight keep your chin up, some of the best to ever do it weren’t… Becky Hammon, Erica Wheeler, Tully Bevilaqua and Érika de Souza… get that chip on your shoulder and put in the work 👊🏾
This Rachel Nichols conversation reminds me of an Audre Lorde quote “What woman here is so enamored with her own oppression that she cannot see her heel print upon another woman’s face.” Sending positive vibes and prayers to Kayla Johnson, and Maria Taylor.
Hmmm I wonder why it’s not trending that Weber State has hired the first African-American woman to ever to be a Division I collegiate head coach of any sport in the state of Utah.

We can’t talk to our student-athletes about being campus/ community leaders but stay silent on issues of injustice. We monitor their social media and tell them to be mindful of the brand they represent, I urge my colleagues to be mindful of what their silence represents.
Tonight was the first time as a head coach that I could look at the opposite bench and see another Black woman as the head coach. So much respect for

I personally felt that Jordin was the MIP last year and DiJonai deserves it this year. Two of my favorite Cali kids. Two of the leagues best defenders.

I love you Coach! Thanks for speaking my dreams into existence even when I couldn’t see it. 💙💛
Don’t minimize how well UCLA is playing by talking about this being a more vulnerable than usual UCONN team... they’re still a beast, UCLA is well coached, talented, and prepared for this stage!
Yessssss congratulations

I listened to the video of the murder of Auhmad Arbery. The existence and acceptance of White privilege and supremacy taught those 2 men that they were entitled to police Black bodies, could kill for disobedience, claim self defense during a citizen's arrest and get away with it
Can’t let the day end without shouting out

As some of you go into your final tournaments of your club ball career, remember that “life is like a 📷 just focus on what’s important and capture the good times, develop from the negatives, and if things don’t work out just take another shot” see ya in Vegas, and SoCal!

We tell players to be mindful of what they post on social media, as coaches and leaders we must do the same. Some of these likes and retweets can have you a click a way from losing a PSA... be careful with the twitter fingers
We’ve declared a war on poverty... We’e declared a war on drugs... But we refuse to declare a war on racism.. the difference is the first two hits a certain demographic just as much as it does the rest of us 🤷🏾♀️

Kanye West needs help. I keep telling my basketball fam to learn how to peep when ppl are laughing AT you instead of WITH you. Kanye’s circle isn’t for him, they’re for what he does for them, he needs professional help. We’ve known this for years...
Black women will not be silenced as we fight for justice. Thank you to our leaders who have mandated masks as public health standards. I stand in solidarity with Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms!
