So honored to be with @doctafrancique after literally writing her name in my notebook with stars and circling frantically to follow her work in a previous session. I can't wait to continue to listen and learn from her and others at @SJSUwordsaction at @NASSSport #NASSS2019Conf

“We’re on the same stage; I’m not stupid enough to think we’re on the same level.” In paying homage to Tommie Smith, Charles Barkley spoke @ObamaFoundation #ObamaSummit about how his grandmother taught him from 4 years old about athlete activists. @SJSUwordsaction @SimiSleighs
