Some personal news: I’ve moved to LA to build a new brand with and for female athletes. Can’t wait to share more soon. In the meantime, creators of all kinds who are passionate about the space + culture, give me a shout.
I was on this flight in the 3rd row - witness to everything. Terrifying but our

For those affected by recent layoffs (Conde, Viacom/MTV and the many other media companies during this time), please get at me. Currently hiring for social, content and more. I'm also happy to help intro you to other opportunities and the good, smart people behind them.

Breanna Stewart landed from Tokyo and went straight to the birth of her daughter, and then on to win the Commissioner's Cup (and MVP). Incredible.
Also incredible was being part of this experience with Stewie and

U.S. women soccer players reached a landmark agreement with the sport’s American governing body to end a six-year legal battle over equal pay, a deal in which they are promised $24 million plus bonuses that match those of the men.

's truth, vulnerability and authenticity has made me - and all of us, the world - continually better. Celebrating that joy with you, Lay, and never more proud to call you a friend.
I’m usually not scared to share news publicly but the amount of hate, myths & ignorance actually had me debating sharing this joy. I had Top Surgery! I’m feeling free & euphoric in my body & want Trans people to know and see that we’ve always existed & no one can erase us! 🏳️⚧️✊🏽❤️

Rapinoe was not scheduled to speak to media today.
After the Supreme Court decision, she asked to, and spoke for over 9 minutes before taking a few questions (and wiping away tears).
Here’s what she said.
My dad, who passed away from cancer last month, avoided basic errands for this reason. He was gaunt, frail and fearful of judgment. Full of pride and insecurity at once. Please love bigger for strangers.
It’s not lost on me the way the internet bullied Chadwick Boseman the last two years about his appearance, him looking tired, etc to the point where he began deleting photos while he was fighting for his life. You truly never know what people are going through. BE KIND.
There is so much to love and laugh at in this video but the young woman who came out because she saw
@sedonaprince_
living authentically, and her proud, emotional dad, really got me.
Only

Watch “Totally Pressed” to see Sedona dunk on strangers, learn Minneapolis slang and hear a story that will bring you to tears 🥺😭
