Moved, inspired, and strengthened by the youth of Nigeria who are courageously combatting police brutality. Using their voices/platforms to fight for justice.
Keep fighting. Keep pushing for change. Keep amplifying the message.

One of the many things I love about sport is that it’s borderless. Doesnt matter what country youre from or language you speak - the court/field provides a space for folks to team together around an aligned objective.
In this case, the objective was a bucket
Heard a whole lot of big talk about "diversity" last summer.
Are yall keeping the same energy regarding hiring diverse candidates or nah?
What does your team look like?
What changes have you made since you posted black squares and sent performative emails to your company?

Naija, you did us proud! From Lagos to Abuja, thank you for being everything Ive known you to be - warm, infectious, hospitable, and passionate.
My colleagues leave with a deep appreciation of you...not to mention an affinity for the correct (🇳🇬) jollof🙌🏿😂
Love u, see u soon.
If we don’t multi-dap, we probably aren’t real friends tbh.
Gotta insert individual daps for each inflection point of the conversation...in addition to the intro and exit daps.
Over the past few years, the

Now that we stuck inside the crib, weve got Miami vs. Los Angeles 😫
We gotta run this matchup back when outside opens up lol.

This week has been...trash.
I see people who look like me get murdered, I compartmentalize it, then hop into a meeting and force up a smile?!
My cousin sent me this text, and it reminded me that I don’t have to hide my anger. This is real life shit, and it’s absolutely awful.
This is a

appreciation tweet.
She’s supremely talented, intelligent, ambitious, thoughtful and all around dope. She’s THE shit.
...and she’s just getting started so yall better get used to the glow up. The hate is just fueling her takeover.
Keep going, Maria! 👊🏿
It’s official — Twitter is coming to Africa!! Im so proud of this announcement. This is what intentionality + action looks like.

! 40 under 40?!
This recognition exists because I have the best colleagues/team in the world — and work with the dopest people/organizations in all of Sports.
Im humbled and EXTREMELY grateful 🙏🏿
Jacob Blake. Unarmed. Multiple shots in the back. Point blank range. In front of his three Black sons.
Paralyzed from the waist down.
My heart is with him. My heart is with his three sons who will never be able to erase this nightmare from their minds. My heart is with US.
I dont say this as often as i should...but
@Jack
is a special leader. He's empathetic, he's transparent, he's decisive, he has a heart for people....he's just dope.
I've learned SO much by observing him over the years -- loyalty, grit, patience and then some.
#WeBackJack
WE WON!!!
To say I’m humbled would be an understatement. I have the luxury of working with the best team in all of sports:

Heartbreaking.
A disruptor, a trendsetter, a visionary, an innovator, a family man, an African Giant.
Praying for his family, loved ones and everyone in his life. His impact was so far reaching. An incredible life -- may his legacy live on 🖤🙏🏿
LVMH, Louis Vuitton and Off White are devastated to announce the passing of Virgil Abloh, on Sunday, November 28th, of cancer, which he had been battling privately for several years.
i tell myself at least once a day:
PROTECT YOUR PEACE.
some things are out of your control -- dont obsess over those things. focus on the things you can control, and crush said things like you (and only you) can. its def easier said than done, but the reminder damn sure helps.
What a start to the week! To say Im humbled would be an understatement.

Today was a devastating reminder that tomorrow is never promised.
As you reflect, remember that Mamba mentality remains as applicable on the court as it is in the office or board room. Strive to be great - each moment - of every single day. Who better than YOU?

For those of us who have been blessed with opportunities thru a plug/mentor/friend — please remember to say thank you.
Gratitude is starting to feel like a lost art. Say thanks. Give those flowers.
Shout out to the plugs, the trailblazers, the pathfinders, the groundbreakers.
2) The video! She “jokingly” says something along the lines of: “someone’s getting a car. That’s how you’ll do for me for me next year lol”.
You know me too well, momma. Luv ya!

May God help us.

I really hope Brian Flores gets another head coaching opportunity in short order. He led that young and unproven Dolphins roster to back to back winning seasons despite a ton of injuries, talent attrition, and COVID challenges. Wild times.
