Silence Is Not An Option

There was no way I was gonna just sit idly by and let this moment pass.

I’ve found myself thinking a lot about Kobe these days.

We can’t just stick to football. Not as a team. Not as an organization. And we shouldn’t as a country.

They’re out there putting in the work. Leading the way. Making things happen.

Without justice for all, none of us are free.

Hall of Famers Reggie Jackson, Dave Winfield, Andre Dawson and Derek Jeter sit down to discuss the Black gap in baseball.

We need VOICES. And we need more Black players on the field. What are we waiting for?

That fear and understanding that this is what goes on, that’s something you can’t teach somebody.

A press release or statement from the team didn’t feel right. I needed to speak from the heart.

Keep on fighting, Black girls. I see you. I got you.

When someone says a black man is being aggressive, that’s it — it’s over. There’s no coming back from that. Anything you say or do will just prove their point.

I’ve had more run ins with racist people than I have ever before in my life in the past few weeks. All because I spoke up.
