Remember 2020? Everyone – yes, everyone – was protesting and professing that alas – we all finally understand how racism bleeds through the US! I’m going to need white folks to look back at their posts from 2020, back when they were committed to allyship, and pick up some of those books they bought and dig deep. If racism is everywhere, how is sport somehow exempt?

You left me maternally loveless…

In a place where unconditional maternal love is what you need to make it through.

Sometimes things look so pretty on the outside, and we never know just how much pain and abuse one has had to endure.

The stars could not have aligned more perfectly. When your journey aligns in an inextricable way, you can’t help but acknowledge it.

I see you in every moment of my daily life. I feel you in the depths of my own trauma.

Six years later, I look at these pictures and can feel that joy, because it was the absolute hardest 4 years I had to endure.

It has been a long time since I wrote a blog post, and I’m excited to be back here; evolved and ready to share unabashedly! Allow me to reintroduce myself!
