One fish is swimming upstream, one’s swimming downstream. We are all living in a cognitive-dissonance reality. We want to live a certain way or do a certain thing, and we don’t because we are emotionally attached to how the group thinks..... – at Frankfort, KY

We ride at Dawn. ✊🏾 Coach Dawn Staley and the Gamecocks are headed to the National Championship — and this sisterhood is standing on our feet for her. Black excellence cannot be disrespected into submission. Congratulations, Coach. We see you. #WinWithBlackWomen #DawnStaley

The chapter about her Mom having to leave South Carolina because she spoke up to a white store owner for treating her poorly & that’s how her Mom ended up in Philadelphia makes this story full circle. Dawn coming back to South Carolina & winning on her ancestral grounds matters.

Here is everything Dawn Staley had to say today about Geno Auriemma, his statement, and her perspective: "No distractions at this time... I grew up in the projects of North Philly. 215, 267 area code. Nothing can derail us, or me, from staying with the task at hand."

And we’ve all experienced it.
Geno Auriemma's behavior toward Dawn Staley is a great encapsulation of how this country treats Black people who are better than them at their job.

Let it be clear: if you publicly mistreat someone, then later issue an apology without even acknowledging the person you lied on, it only makes things worse. That’s not accountability—it’s avoidance. Own it fully.

Congrqtulations to Jayden Forbes for absolutely obliterating the school record in the triple jump this past weekend. Forbes soared 42'-11" to set a new standard for HHS. The old record of 39'-6.75" was set in 2023 by Jordan Davis.

The best way to honor your parent(s) is to be successful. Go further than them. Higher. The best way to honor your kid(s) is to be successful. Leave them a little something, so they won't have to fight the same dragons you fought.

My top coaching trait is seeing the champion before anyone else does. Coached an athlete to next weekends New England Championship with 6 spots available for our state. She went into the meet ranked 12th in the 55 m to secure the 6th spot and 7th in the 300 to secure the 5th.

Before the 300m I heard someone say dang lane 6 it’s a wrap. Meanwhile I remembered I coached my first sprinter to qualify for New England from lane 1 in the 200m in 2023.
