    “I've seen you a lot. You've been busy." -Diana Taurasi Looking back at this moment, at my first time covering an Arizona Sports HOF induction, I feel so proud! As it's Autism Awareness Month, I'm so proud to represent my identity while empowering others as well! 👩‍💻🧩p

    One of my wildest moments in my young sports journalism career. A'ja Wilson sat behind me and was interacting with media members 😂 #WNBAFinals Mind you, I'm 22 years old and just graduated from college this spring😅😅

    No WNBA player should ever play in Russia again after what the country has done to Brittney Griner. We are so worried about BG's physical and mental health. Bring her home. #WeAreBG #FreeBrittneyGriner

    I whispered, "What's going on?" Wilson told me, "I don't know." 😭 #WNBA

    This photo of Brittney Griner is heartbreaking and painful. We want her home ASAP, 130 days too long. 😓💔 #FreeBrittneyGriner #WeAreBG

    Iowa State sophomore center Audi Crooks walks off the court of Mullett Arena. She tells the ASU band that they have the best one. What a cool moment as a women's basketball fan! 🏀 #ForksUp

    Today it's Thanksgiving. Brittney Griner should be here celebrating and eating a delicious thanksgiving dinner with her family and friends. But, she's been wrongfully detained for 280 days. It's time to bring Brittney Griner and all wrongfully detained Americans home. 🙏 #WeAreBG
