international athletes STILL don’t have equal access to benefit from legislation, and are STILL inadequately supported on many campuses across the membership.
So I can’t celebrate with peace of mind. Not right now.

Is it just me or are the statements from students/student organizations stronger and more direct than the statements from institutions and senior leadership?

Coaches been hosting multiple meetings per week to check in on their students during COVID.
But won’t create space nor facilitate a discussion with their team on the racial injustices in America.
Make it make sense.
I am observing and learning SO much about how college athletics and student affairs differ in the following areas:
Crisis communication
Self-care
Student-athlete identity
Can I start my program now?👨🏾💻
Excited to share that I’ve been selected to participate in the 2018 NCAA Emerging Leaders Seminar! Can’t wait learn more about myself and others through meaningful reflection and experiential learning. 😁

Hi, I’m a student affairs educator. You might know me from my hits “To Challenge and To Support,” “Have You Checked Your Email?,” and “Let’s Unpack This.”
I recently went 2x platinum for my solo album, “Yes, I work in college athletics. No, I’m not a coach.”
Hi, I’m a grad part-time instructor at a public university.
You might know me from my hits “it’s in the syllabus,” “i’m flattered you trust me for a recommendation but it won’t mean much,” and the little known hit “I don’t get paid enough for this.”
Y’all couldn’t find not one woman or non-white presenting male to contribute during this conversation?!
If y’all need a list, I got you. 🤞🏾
Trust me, we’re here. 🥷🏽💫

CTE, sexual identity and sport, imposter syndrome, college choice, mental health, abatement. The list is forever long!
Looking forward to discussing this documentary with others.
This is NOT the time to ride a wave or a trending topic.
However, it is yet ANOTHER time for you to learn & unlearn knowledge and behaviors that have deadly effects on Black people.
Stop copying & pasting MLK Jr quotes and do the work, your work. It’s long overdue.
