- Let me make this clear. CC can speak about having white privilege without hating herself. CC can acknowledge THE REALITY of race disparities without pandering to any group. CC can celebrate the GIANTS who have come before her, without diminishing her own HISTORIC accomplishments.
- Replying to @TemiFagbenleI think most people know thisโฆitโs just a select group trying to twist things. The USโs race issue is so ingrained that I believe a majority of them donโt even think they are twisting anything. The immediate response to anyone talking about how race affects anything is denial.
- Replying to @TemiFagbenleI am also not naive by any means lol. Itโs been hundreds of years of this BS. Ainโt no quick fix. But if the majority of people band together working towards the same goals, the (racist n prejudiced) stragglers will be left behind and forced to adapt. Just like in team sports :)
- Replying to @TemiFagbenleThis is a great opportunity 4 some respectful conversations about race in the US, however, the convos will only be beneficial if there are no racists or prejudiced people involved. We must 1st converse to understand, not to be right. Next step is working together 2 make a change.

- I never thought I'd make it past college basketball. The patella tendonopathy in my knees was so bad one doctor likened the damage to a "rotten apple", and another doctor gave me three options: surgery, rest for a couple years or play in pain. Wonderful!๐
- Basketball is such a mental game. One of the hardest challenges an athlete can go through is when a coach is hellbent on not liking, supporting or believing in you. Nothing great you do is celebrated and all your mistakes are amplified๐โฆ
- ๐ฌ๐ง๐Here's to transparency, togetherness and a better future for British basketball. We look forward to your response, @gbbasketball ๐ฌ๐ง๐ *reposted with correct date*
- Me and my golden ball๐คฉ๐๐ฟ Awarded to me last summer for 50 basketball games wearing the GB jersey. Time flies. I give thanks to the universe for allowing me to make it this far. It hasn't been easy, but it has been and continues to be one hell of a ride.
- To my athletes in college, professional, wherever. Don't waste your life away thinking that your sport is all you should be doing now. I remember my first year pro, being so focused on basketball it consumed my life & it was like I could do nothing else - like I had no other...
- Selflessness. Thatโs what you sign up for when playing a team sport like basketball. During a game, if you find yourself routinely making a mental note of how many points YOU have, your focus is on yourself, not your team๐คท๐ฟโโ๏ธ Itโs not about you. #TemiTalks
