Here’s a great article on how to talk to your white children about racism. Worth a read. “If you come out of that conversation and you’re not feeling any discomfort or worry or guilt there, it probably wasn’t deep enough.” - Rebecca Bigler (mom) expert on racial attitudes.
One thing I’ve noticed from watching the women’s tourney is all the elite WBB players who have featured stories about their basketball journey involve playing w/ BOYS when they were younger & how that made them BETTER. Don’t be afraid to jump in w/ the boys!!
Expressing gratitude & thanking people who have impacted you or helped you in anyway is therapeutic. Tell the people who have made a difference in your life! Write them a thank you note or something! I promise you won’t regret it.
Awesome weekend of basketball @ the Capital Cool Classic! Won our first 3 games by a combined margin of 8 points. Impressed with how we managed late game situations. Lost to a good B-Wright team in the ship. Love this team! Go Starz ⭐️
Some great takeaways on MJ talking about being a leader that get misunderstood often. “Leadership has a price. I pulled people along when they didn’t want to be. I wanted to win but I wanted them to be apart of that as well.”
